Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: IL-HY-30
Station Name: Colona 0.5 ESE
Report Date: 7/12/2026
Submitted: 7/12/2026 7:37 AM
Scale Bar: Near Normal
Description:
This past week dried out from the heavy rains the week prior.  There was only one day of measurable precipitation, and it was only 0.01".  However, MTD is still above NOAA Norm by +0.58" (137%), with YTD +3.50" (117%) and WYTD +2.37" (109%).  I did provide supplemental water to the garden and potted plants.  I have an abundance of green beans and have picked a few tomatoes.  Area crops still look really good with most nearby corn having tasseled this week.  Area rivers are still up a bit and slowly lowering to their normal summer levels.  Conditions are going to get hot this week with temperatures expected to reach the mid-90's by Wednesday with no forecast for any rain.  I expect to start to feel the corn sweat and the itch in my nose from the pollen.
