30 days now without significant precipitation. Air is very dry as official temperature is 50, but the dew point is only 34, and a S wind of 10 mph indicates the need for another red flag warning. Our plantings seem, for the most part, to be weathering the dry weather, but some, like hydrangea, are drooping. Apparently the freeze did not affect our plants up here on the high ground. |

It was mostly cloudy at 7 a.m. with virga trailing from cumulus off to our north. But, no rain for the 13th straight day and only .09 for 32 days. I noticed when I mowed on Monday that the ground was very dry and dusty and there are cracks in places. Our hydrangea and other water loving plants are quite droopy. This morning it was 57 officially with a dew point of 52 and winds out of the W at 6 mph. |

Two weeks now without a drop of rain, and only .09 in 33 days. Hopeful that the NWS forecast of up to a third of an inch will prove realistic. This morning skies were increasingly overcast. The temperature was 52, dew point 45, and the winds were from the E at 10 mph. Often good things (precipitation) happen when the wind is out of the east. |

Had been in Chicago all day yesterday and drenched in a downpour, so very disappointed to find nothing in my gauge here this morning. So, now only 0.1 inches of precipitation in the past 35 days. This morning it was overcast, 40 degrees, a dew point of 38, and winds were out of the NW at 5 mph. One hopes the NWS predictions for Tuesday are correct. Would like to get some precipitation before the ground freezes. |

This was a strange morning. I had .03 inches in the gauge but I believe it was all condensation from the very heavy fog. Certainly the local NWS didn't report any precipitation. So I'm going with none. Fog was beginning to lift by 7 a.m., but was still patchy here on the ridge. At Meadowbrook it was also lifting some. At 6 a.m. visibility was less than a quarter mile down there, but closer to 3/4 of a mile by 7 a.m. The temperature at 7 was 44, dew point 43, and winds were Calm. |

Again, condensation on the outside but not inside the gauge. Light fog was drifting off the sculpture garden at Meadowbrook Park over Windsor Road, but visibility was relatively unimpaired. There was a bank of stratus clouds to the north with cirrus and cirrostratus projecting out of it, a few altocumulus to the east. The temperature at 7 was 63, the dew point 61, and the wind was out of the south at 5 mph. |

Dark overcast last night, but no rain. Overcast this morning at 7 with fog up here on the ridge, which we don't often get. I would guess visibility was about a mile. Condensation on outside but not inside of gauge. The temperature was 66, dew point 65, and the wind was from the northeast at 8 mph. |

Storm broke about 2:45 p.m. yesterday. At times rainfall was so hard it was difficult to see the house behind us. When the gust front went through, it bent our large perennials almost double. This morning skies were overcast, the temperature was considerably cooler at 58 degrees, the dew point 55, and the wind was from the west at 6 mph. |

Just a few drops in the gauge. As the gauge was dry on the outside, I was certain this was not condensation. At 7 a.m., the sky was mostly cloudy with fast moving cumulus clouds. The temperature was 56. |

At least two showers of rain, one sometime before 8 p.m. (I was in class until then) and one overnight. This morning the sky was mostly cloudy with only a few patches of blue showing through ragged cumulus clouds. Pavement was wet, and there were puddles in places. The temperature was 58, dew point 55, and the wind was from the north at 12 mph. |

I believe this fell probably well before midnight. There were again small puddles on the pavement. At 7 a.m., skies were overcast and dark, and there was a very fine mist in the air. The temperature was 60, dew point 57, and the wind was out of the northeast at 12 mph. |
