7/29/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain but a very heavy dew on the ground, good to have moisture in the aire for this however with the passing storms of this last week much of the fruit from the trees has also fallen before it is ready for harvest. We still need more rain.

9/2/2012 8:00 AM 0.43 M M M M currently raining, we are expecting 2 to 4 inches of rain over next couple of days as the large Low pressure system that was Hurricane Isaac is now passing thru the midwest. Some potential for tornadoes later today. Any flooding will be a result of the ground being baked into brick during the last four months of heat and draught.
