Yesterday I had .31", today .20", I've already got .59" for in the morning. Don't think I'll get more overnight, but we're suppose to get showers rolling thru for the next 2 days.

I would love to get some rain. But this is one of the months that usually has no measurable precipitation.
Temps have been in the 90s but we are suppose to cool down to the upper 70s this week. I hope so.

Dry, sunny, and about 80* today.
Hazy hot and humid until friday and a chance of thunderstorms every day
Well it has cooled down. Great weather for working outside. Going to be windy and in the mid to upper 70s.
Another .11 last night. It started at 2am, had just went to bed. A strong line of storms moving very fast. There was no warning from the weather man. Of course the power went off. I had to fire up the generator to see the internet weather map, didn't know how bad it was going to get.
I was up nursing the generator until 4:30am. Been catching up on sleep all day, a nap here, a nap there.
Today most of the storms were down near @timmie

Last year we had very severe drought at our location. Over winter we did get some moisture and just a little more this spring. Because of the drought, there was very little forage for animals in my area. This caused severe harm to our wild elk population. Because of the poor forage during winter the weakened pregnant cow elk absorbed their fetuses (aborted) so this year there are basically no elk babies. A couple days ago I watched a herd of about 50 cow elk and there was not one calf in the bunch. Obviously the poor forage is also very troublesome for the area ranchers ( the major industry in our county).
The bulk of our yearly rainfall occurs during the monsoon season in July and August and on the news they said they expect the monsoon to be delayed this year. I fear the worst but hope for more rain. Only time will provide the answer to how much rain we get.
Currently there are several wildfires burning in our state. None are very close to our home though we did get some smoke some days. Our home place has excellent fire mitigation and I do not worry about being burned out (though we could be smoked out). This is proving to be a troubling summer.

From the weather radar bacpacker and angie got hammered by strong storms tonight. Trees were down, a few roofs were missing. I'm going to get a little of it in a couple of hours but far weaker than what they got.
- 3 oc tomorrow morning and frosts. Last night it went down to -5 oc overnight and more frosts.

Not wearing shorter pants and sandals today. It rained overnight. I have no idea how much because I haven't kept up with my rain gauge lately. I dumped over an inch of rain out of a bucket. High today of 64 degrees.
We've had some rain everyday this week. Yesterday was very nice and clear, but late in the evening we had a bad storm roll thru. Winds topped 50mph and toppled trees all over the area. Many thousands were without power for hours. Ours was down for 9+ hours overnight. We had .80" rain this morning. Before we left around 1 pm we have another .18".
I am sorry but I have to get this out my system ... it has been nagging at me from the first time this was posted ... the answer is .... yes we have weather here.
Ice in the birdbath this morning. Is there going to be a summer?
I don't know what the temperature is but I had to have a jacket to take the pup out this morning.
Sunny, hot and humid for the whole week to come. Chance of storms in the afternoon and evenings
I had another . 48 in the gauge this morning. Expecting storms this evening . Hot and humid today and I The mid to upper 80s all week.
I have no idea what happened. At 5am a line of storms 300 miles long were bearing down on me. I fell asleep in my recliner. When I woke up the sun was out and not a single drop of rain had fallen. 
Dumped .75" this morning. Storms rolled thru around 530 last night. 50 mph winds. But passed thru in an hour or so. Hot and dry todat is the forecast.
