Our conditions this past week were Near Normal with 1.11" of rain falling on 1 wet day. Apparently we got quite a bit more rain this week than most of the other reporting sites in SW Michigan. Daily high temperatures were above seasonal average for this time of year going into the mid-80's(F) every day along with uncomfortably high dew points; however, nighttime temperatures were more pleasant (60'sF) than during last weeks' heatwave.  Lightning bugs are flashing after dark, and mosquitoes in town are present, but tolerable. Lawns are still green, lush and growing enough to require weekly mowing. Crab-grass has appeared suddenly and is now growing and spreading fast.
