6/12/2012 7:50 AM T M M M M The 50% chance of rain they forecasted for us ended up only being a few spits on the windows. The rain clouds dissipated as they came over our dry area.

6/17/2012 7:30 AM 1.70 M M M M Happy Father's Day and YEH! It rained!!!

The yard is brown and crunchy with only green in the shaded areas and having to water the garden and flower bed again. At 9:00 a.m. CDT we have clear sunny skies with a light easterly breeze; 68 deg F.
6/27/2012 8:15 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain in site for today; continued dry conditions. This morning we have bright sunny skies with a nice SW breeze before the heat is to set in later today (low 90's); 71 deg F at 8:15 a.m. CDT
6/28/2012 8:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M "Hot (100+ deg F.) and dry" is the forecast for today! Mowed down the the "weeds" (mainly buckhorn and clover) which is the only thing surviving in the yard. At 8:45 a.m. CDT winds are SW with sunny skies and a few thin clouds; 79 deg F.
6/29/2012 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Saw lightening through the clouds off to the NE last night but the only thing measureable in our rain gauge this morning was one June beetle. Another dry day. At 8:30 a.m. CDT we have partly cloudy skies; humid; very light NE to SE winds; 79 deg F.
6/30/2012 8:00 AM 0.52 M M M M Two separated thunderstorm accumulated the 0.52 inches found in the gauge. The first storm came around 12:50 p.m. CDT and last about 15 minutes which was gusty winds and rain (0.05 inches). The main thunderstorm was more severe and started somewhere around 1:00 a.m. this morning with an abundance of lightening - some very close causing power to fail for a short period of time, winds and steady rain (0.47 inches). The lightening seem to last for a couple hours. Even after the storm had passed we could see more lightening off to the SW. This morning we have sunny skies; humid; SW breeze and 71 deg F at 8:00 a.m. CDT. More 90 deg temps in store for us today.
7/1/2012 8:15 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Fog set in through the night but has now been burned off by the bright sunshine. Winds are calm at 8:15 a.m. CDT; very humid; 76 deg F. Temps are to be in the low 90's again today - nothing but 90's forecasted for the whole week. Heard on the weather station last night that for each day that it's in the 90's we lose 1/4 inch of moisture from the top soil so by the end of this week we will have lost around 2 inches in soil moisture. Crops cannot handle this - praying for rain.
7/2/2012 7:30 AM 0.02 M M M M Heat and humidity were high yesterday morning as severe thunderstorm warnings were announced but watched as the storms went around us. We ended up with only a brief light shower (0.02 inches) and the winds turned to cool the day down. We'll be back in the blow torch weather all this week - today forecasted to be 96 deg F. tomorrow 100! At 7:30 a.m. CDT winds are calm; sunny skies and 71 deg F.
7/3/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M It's going to be HOT, HOT, HOT! With the humidity it will feel 100+ today! At 8:00 a.m. CDT we have sunshine, light SW breeze and 75 deg F.
7/4/2012 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M and it continues.... We are in store for another scorcher of a day! Temps are to be right at 100 deg F today then factor in the humidity - WOW! At 6:30 a.m. it was already 74 deg F., winds calm; sunny skies with a few puffy clouds. HAPPY 4th of JULY USA! Be safe everyone!
7/5/2012 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M More hot, hot weather today - forecast of 101 deg F! Watering the garden as I write this. Corn in the fields are "pineappling" and the leaves on soybeans are turning over to protect themselves from the extreme heat. At 9:00 a.m. CDT we have sunny skies; winds calm to very light from the SW; 84 deg F.
7/6/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Extreme heat advisory for today. The first step outside this morning I could smell the field corn - it's like the corn is cooking in its shuckes! Watering garden and flower beds just wish I could do the same for the field crops. At 8:00 a.m. CDT we have clear, sunny skies; humid; winds calm to very light; 82 deg F. It's going to be another "stand and sweat" day!
7/7/2012 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Just came in from watering the garden and flowers; the heat and humidity are building. Looking at field crops the past couple of days corn is getting very stressed; leaves are curling and pulling straight up; firing on the bottom on the lighter soils. Forecasters are talking a slight chance of a thundershower late today or tomorrow but the amount they are forecasting will only settle the dust; the crops need INCHES not HUNDREDTHS. Forecasters do not have any rain in the forecast for another whole week. 100 deg temps again today. It was 105 yesterday! At 8:30 a.m. CDT we have sunny skies; light SW breeze; 84 deg F.
7/8/2012 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Finally some reprieve from the oppressive heat to help the crops relax a bit but still no rain to speak of. About 7:30 p.m. last night a front came through turning the winds from the SW to out of the N-NE which was very welcome. This morning we have mostly cloudy skies, still some humidity in the air; 76 deg F at 7:30 a.m. CDT
7/9/2012 7:30 AM 0.62 M M M M We were one of the fortunate ones yesterday to be in the path of line of thundershowers that dropped a glorious 0.62 inches of rain on much needed crops. Even though some of our corn is way past saving on the lighter soils we are VERY THANKFUL for whatever we can get. Feel so for those areas that still are waiting for a drop since our forecast has no more rain in site for another week. Temps have dropped from the oppressive 100's down to the mid 80's which also is a nice relief. This morning at 7:30 a.m. we have sunny skies; winds calm to very light; 71 deg F.
7/10/2012 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
7/11/2012 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Oh' last night was definitely refreshing with a northerly breeze and temps dropping into the high 60's - it was time to throw open the windows and give the air conditioner a rest. But I believe it will be short lived as today winds are to turn and humidity is to build as temps are to be right at 90 deg F. The six tenths of rain we received the other day has already be used up by the plants so watering is again a morning chore. No chance of rain mentioned in the forecasts until this weekend. We can only hope it true. At 9:00 a.m. CDT we have clear sunny skies and light winds from the E-SE.
7/12/2012 9:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still no rain in site. Field crops are in stress - don't know how much more they can take especially on the lighter soils. Some soybeans on sandy soils have actually burned up - NOTHING THERE but STEMS! Field corn on sandy soils has fired at the bottom and shut down; rain at this point will not help it now. At 9:00 a.m. CDT we have partly cloudy skies with an easterly breeze; 72 deg F.
7/13/2012 9:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Like a broken record: no rain, watering garden and flowers, watching the crops burn up! Another day in the low 90's!
7/14/2012 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nothing new to report other than the word for the day is "DRY"! Have a good one everyone!
7/15/2012 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Watched the dark thunderstorm clouds go south and northwest of us yesterday afternoon but we were not fortunate enough to even receive a drop, though happy some folks did receive some much needed rain. The morning's early haze is slowly burning off with our clear sunny skies; winds light from the WSW and 71 deg F. We have another day in the 90's which will feel like 100 with the humidity. The word for the day is: "thirsty".
7/18/2012 3:00 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still no rain to speak of; don't know how much more the crops can take. Did here the sound of thunder off to the northwest. If there is rain in the air I hope it makes it this far and not all around us like the past two weeks. Temp 100 deg F at 3:00 p.m. with partly cloudy skies and west wind. The word for the day is: "Withered".
7/19/2012 7:40 AM 1.00 M M M M Hallelujah! Oh what a beautiful site to see ONE INCH of rain in our gauge. This rain came from a couple of different storms, one yesterday around 3:15 p.m. (0.32 inches) and the remainder at 4:00 and then 6:00 a.m. this morning (0.68 inches) with a line of thunderstorms. This rain believe me is so appreciated but still is too late to save some corn and a few beans fields we have on sandy soils. So thankful though the remainder of our crops got a decent rain - hope it was widespread. At 7:40 a.m. CDT we have cloudy skies with a SE breeze and 66 deg F. Heard thunder off to the SW. The word for the day is: "THANKFUL"
7/20/2012 7:45 AM 0.08 M M M M We received another beautiful little rain shower through the early morning hours leaving behind 0.08 inches in the gauge. With the rain I reported yesterday and today, and this morning's cooler temps the crops, flowers and garden plants are finally able to relax a bit before the heat starts back up again tomorrow and into the coming week. At 7:45 a.m. CDT we have cloudy skies; NE breeze and 67 deg F. The word for the day is: "RELIEF"
7/21/2012 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Yesterday's NE breeze and mid 80 temps were so refreshing, a nice break from the extreme heat and humidity that will be moving back in starting today and throughout the coming week. At 6:00 a.m. when I looked out we had dense fog that has sinced burned off leaving the grass dewy. Currently we have bright sunny skies with a few wispy clouds; winds calm to very light from the south at 8:30 a.m. CDT.
7/22/2012 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain but a beautiful Sunday morning with a SW breeze; it's going to be a hot one with temps in the high 90's (real feel 105 deg F !).

7/24/2012 10:50 AM 0.04 M M M M My ISP went down yesterday afternoon and just came up at 10:30 a.m. this morning. Then we got side swiped by a strong line of thunderstorms starting at 7:30 a.m. CDT with us only getting the strong winds and not much rain (0.04 inches). The strong winds did knock out power for about 40 minutes and we do have many sticks and a very large burr oak limb that came down thankfully missing any buildings. At 10:50 a.m. we have overcast skies with a SW breeze; 80 deg F.
7/25/2012 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heard thunder afar through the early morning hours but no rain for us only 100 degree heat forecasted for the day. At 7:30 a.m. we have mostly sunny skies with a breezy SW wind; 72 deg F.
7/26/2012 8:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Woke up to thunder and lightening at 3:30 a.m. but that was about the extent of storm we received. Only dumped out 0.02 inches from the gauge - wasn't even enough to wet the dust. At 8:00 a.m. we have cloudy skies with a very light southerly breeze; you can feel the humidity in the air; 77 deg F.
7/27/2012 8:15 AM 0.01 M M M M Our two big rain events from yesterday afternoon and at 8:00 a.m. this morning left behind a whopping 0.01 inches. We watch as the main rain clouds either go north of us or south. Currently we have partly cloudy skies with calm to very light winds; 73 deg F.

7/31/2012 6:30 AM 0.46 M M M M Was woke up by an unexpected thunderstorm around 4:50 a.m. CDT. The "GLORIOUS" rain started falling lightly around 5:00 a.m. before becoming heavier around 5:15-5:20 a.m. lasting until about 5:45. It was still very lightly sprinkling when I excitedly checked the gauge to find 0.46 inches. At 6:30 a.m. we have cloudy skies with SE breeze; 62 deg F.

8/2/2012 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A little bit of fog earlier this morning in the low areas, nothing like yesterday when it was pea soup at 5:00 a.m. CDT. This morning we have clear sunny skies with a very light breeze. Temps to be in the mid 90's today - HOT! Remember the sunscreen!
8/3/2012 7:15 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Yesterday was a hot 90 degree plus day and the forecast for today is to be even hotter. At 7:15 a.m. CDT we have sunny skies, you can feel the humidity building, grass is a little dewy, calm winds and 69 deg F. Try to stay cool everyone!
8/4/2012 7:20 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M There's a haze across the horizon and you can feel that the humidity is going to be high today; forecasted temp to be in the 90's. We have sunny skies, light south breeze and 71 deg F. at 7:20 a.m. CDT
8/5/2012 8:00 AM 1.21 M M M M Oh' what a beautiful morning! We were blessed yesterday and early this morning with rain events that left behind all total 1.21 inches in our gauge. The first thunderstorm came through around 4:30 p.m. (0.46 inches) and the other around 3:30 a.m. (0.75 inches). At 8:00 a.m. we have a nice breeze from the NW with sunny skies. Our soybeans across the road are relaxing and going, "AHHH"! Happy Sunday!
8/6/2012 8:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M You can't ask for a more beautiful morning with a light southerly breeze and clear sunny skies; temp around 69 deg F. The grass is dewy this morning and has started to green a little since our wonderful one inch plus rain we received over the weekend. Gosh I think we might even mow for the first time in over a six weeks. Enjoy the beautiful day everyone!

8/9/2012 8:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Intermittent light showers started around 3:30 p.m. and ended about 7:00 p.m. last night giving us just 0.06 inches in the gauge this morning. Not complaining because our soybeans can use whatever moisture they can get - the corn is done! At 8:00 a.m. CDT we have cloudy hazy skies, winds calm; 67 deg F.
8/10/2012 8:15 AM 0.34 M M M M We thankfully missed the severe thunderstorm warning that was out for northern Newton Co. last night and ended up receiving just a beautiful rain from it (0.26 inches). A little more rain fell through the early morning hours giving us another (0.08 inches). As I check the gauge I could see another dark rain cloud heading our way and just made it into the house before it let loose. At 8:15 a.m. CDT we have rain, light winds from the NW and 61 deg F.
8/11/2012 8:30 AM 0.28 M M M M What a beautiful, refreshing morning compared to what we've had this whole summer: sunny skies, NW breeze and 62 deg F. You gotta love it!

Our soybeans are saying, "Hallelujah"! The grass has greened up and mowers will be running again. At 7:30 a.m. CDT cloudy skies with a little bit of haze/fog across the horizon; light NW breeze; 61 deg F.

8/17/2012 9:20 AM 0.84 M M M M Beautiful clear blue skies today after yesterday's wonderful rain (0.84) allowing the soils to thoroughly soak it in. Did have about 10 seconds of hail yesterday as the front moved in (pea to 3/8 inch - no damage).
8/18/2012 11:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Gorgeous day here in the country - sunny skies, winds calm to very light from the south, temps around 68-70 deg F. - can't ask for a more beautiful day!

8/20/2012 8:00 AM 0.37 M M M M We only had a 20% chance of rain yesterday but at 5:20 p.m. one of those stray blips on the radar found us leaving 0.37 inches in the gauge. It poured for about 10-15 minutes pretty heavy before tapering off to a steady rain and moving on south east. We saw a beautiful double rainbow to the south around 7:15 p.m. This morning we have sunny skies; very light north wind; 58 deg F. The grass is soaked and with the pop up showers we've received over the past couple of weeks and cooler temps the grass is growing like gangbusters again. Our lawn mowers are going to have to get back into the swing of things after being off all summer. :)
8/21/2012 8:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Watched a thunderstorm moved around/through the area yesterday evening around 4:30 p.m. CDT.

Turned our air conditioner back on yesterday after a week or so of relief from the heat; forecasted to be in the low 90's this weekend with higher humidity. Saw the baby bluebirds fledge from their birdhouse yesterday - what a neat sight to see as they tested out their wings flying from the house to the tree limbs.

8/27/2012 8:20 AM 2.05 M M M M All the rains we prayed for during the hot, dry summer we are now receiving in the month of August.
