| This was a fairly dry week with just 0.26" of rain measured across three days; as such we're back to being dry and seeing a 'high' fire rating. The mosquitoes are beginning to decrease in numbers although they are still nasty. I've seen a few more moose of late although few have calves in tow; the wild birds are, of course, abundant. The ground is back to being dry and there's a lot of dust created by any vehicular traffic on the back roads. Our temps have cooled a bit and the days are now rather pleasant with highs in the upper sixties to middle seventies and lows dropping into the upper forties to middle fifties. We really need and extended period of gentle, soaking rain. With July rapidly approaching here's hoping we see such events... |

| OK- We'll do "Near Normal" for one more week, altho' conditions fly in the face of precip. accum. Sprinkles on/off one day, a.m. fog/low stratus 3 days, afternoon sun, and temps in t onlyhe 60s. However those pesky VOAA>PRISM Norms are niggling: year-to-date & wateryear-to-date are near 100%normal but month is 14%!!!. Wild berries seem late / slow maturing. Creek still running well, no significant drop, but is totally shaded so retaining ground water better. The rains of the first months of the year have kept ground water levels up until now, but the dug yard ponds have started to drop. Surface soil under leaf litter still damp, but surface litter getting volatile. |

| With no precipitation in June we are dry, but this is normal. Most annual range plants have matured and dried with a few remaining green in shaded or riparian areas. Woody species are probably getting drier as soil moisture lessens, adding to wildfire danger. June was cooler than normal, perhaps reducing the drying, but that appeared to be offset with more wind than normal. Irrigation water is available for pastures and crops. |

| Since last reported on 06/23/2025, received 0.87" of precipitation recorded on two days. However, topsoil sample taken this evening indicates dry powdery soil from the surface down to 2.0". At the 3.0" level, topsoil is slightly moist. Prairie in our immediate area is blooming with yellow wildflowers that look like blankets from the air. I have never seen so much color in the summer since we moved here in 1998. Although soil is drying out, grass remains green. As a result, no Red Flag Warnings. Watering recently transplanted trees more often now. Perennial gardens are doing great with lots of blossoms. It appears that monsoon season is getting underway with daily chances of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Wildlife activity appears normal. Still no Miller Moth invasion like we typically see in June. With the topsoil continuing to be dry, I will maintain a Condition Scale of Mildly Dry. |

Since June 6th all of the daily totals have been much below normal. Yesterday this station was surrounded by thunderstorms but only 0.18 inches fell. That pretty much sums up the month.

Our lake level has fallen 8 inches. Only 0.04 inches of rain has fallen in the last 10 days during this heatwave. This drought actually is a long term event, going back over the last 3 1/2 years. Several natural springs that feed the lake has disappeared and the ground water is suffering as well. Corn crops near me seem to be fairing very well with chest high being the average height. |

| Finally, enough rain to worth writing about, almost 2 inches of rain received this past week and it all soaked in helping out the sub soil. The rivers were bank full for a day which after seeing them very low for so long, seemed amazing too. Crops and lawn grass responded to the rains with quick growth. This was good to see as the corn and beans were behind in growth compared to prior years. Of course the taller corn creates cover for the deer that like munching the leaves on edges if fields, as well as alfalfa and soybeans. Pheasants enjoy the cover of the tall roadside grass as well. |

| We have had a couple of wet episodes this week with a few resulting to much needed rain. This has led to several benefits and disadvantages. One, this has contributed to reduction in pollen levels. This rain has indeed helped with drought improvements in the area. Some disadvantages were present as well. Rivers started to rise slightly given the above average rain. This led to some rapid runoff for some small streams and also led to murky waters given the excess rain amounts. |

| Thus far for my “Watershed,” that resides in the “Upper Passaic River” Watershed, that covers from 1.5 miles to the NW to about 1.5 miles to the SE and is about 1 mile in width and in the general shape of a diamond;
There were THREE days with measurable precipitation and one day with trace precipitation for a total of 0.25”, the past seven days [Sunday-Sat]. River and stream volume the past couple days of the CMR decreased over small lake dams west of this station. As of Sunday morning, 6/29; one was moving at 100% percent the width of the dam 6.5 miles from this station at a slow volume with no observable turbidity. The other, 2 miles to the west, also decreased greatly, now covering 15% of its respective fall and moving at a similar volume also with no observable turbidity. The Madison Golf Course, adjacent this station had observable play again this past week on most days. The ground around this station continues to be moist and soft to walk on. Grass and weeds required maintenance the past week. Maple trees are looking well, along with the Juvenal Oak’s and two Ginkgo Trees, also all looking good. Bumble Bees and honey bees were observed the past week. House Finch were active, along with Cardinals, Mourning Doves and no Crows. The Hummingbird feeder had observable activity and refreshed the evening of 6/27. Neighborhood squirrels, Rabbits and chipmonks were also all observed. Fire files / Lightning Bugs first flash of the season was observed the evening of 6/19, continue to be observed this week, adjacent this station. Also; Lilly’s that bloomed on 6/17, as of this report; 20% have emerged. No more Pionese flowers. A Red Tailed Fox was observed crossing this station on Sunday 6/29 at 1010 hrs with a dead Rabbit.
Over the past 31 days; this station has captured and reported 4.99 inches of precipitation. There has been 77 days of precipitation the previous 177 days of CY2025 [1/1/2025 to 6/28/2025] for a “Calendar Year” [CY] total of
25.68”, compared to 77 (as well) Precipitation Days” and a [CY] total of
29.55” the same [year to date] in CY2024. So far, compared to last year; this station has received 3.87” less precipitation than a year ago. Some other totals from previous years, for comparison, are;
YTD2023- 23.04”
YTD2022- 25.32”
YTD2021- 22.61”
YTD2020- 21.36”
YTD2019- 32.47”
YTD2018- 27.69”
YTD2017- 23.47”
YTD2016- 22.23”
YTD2015- 21.23” FIRST****
The running ELEVEN year average reported precipitation for THIS station is: 24.96” inches, placing this station at a surplus of 0.72” more then the 11 year average. Considering the eleven year annual comparable total for this station, is why I believe that it is appropriate to move this week’s report to the “Near Normal” side of the Condition Scale Bar.

We placed a bird bath on the ground and it is being visited by 4 to over 6 Honeybees constantly each day. The high temperatures of over 90 degrees is causing them to visit sources of water.
