Thurs 7:15am 25º, H=90%, DP 24º, AP 30.3*9", W minimal air movement, sunny & everything iced over. It seems that KS & MO won't issue Freezes Warnings this early in the season - OK & AR did, however - & we are having our 1st real deep Freeze of the season.
Wed Temps = 49/30º a nice day, if on the chilly side. A few minutes after 4pm suddenly an icy Snow shower starting beating down from the NW - almost horizontal snowfall & very small flakes but too warm to stick as Snow. During the 1/2 hr or so that it fell, it only left a trace of water in the gauge.

Think it is still Snowing, but can't tell for the whipping winds. Snow board no use as winds cleaning off everything, even vehicles (don't have to clean off windows, roofs, etc.). Took several measurements to get Snow total. The Winter Weather Advisory has been extended until noon.
Wed Temps = 25/57º another beautiful day until about 3pm when winds quickly moved to an ciy NW direction, picked up in intensity & began gusting & whipping fiercely, as Temps started to drop sharply. End of a great day to work outside demolishing old chicken/farrowing house. The N.W.S. issued a Winter Weather Advisory until 9am tomorrow for icy roads due to light Rain changing to light Snow accompanied by strong gusting winds into the 40+mph range.

N, were very mild & we could could work on the roof w/o danger of being blown off. A lot of good material to use when fixing up/restoring the old Milk Barn & for recycling what we can't use.

Tues 7:30am 32º, H=94%, DP 31º, AP 29.91", W breezes, totally gray outside. Water in gauge not frozen & a lot of Snow melted. Rain/Sleet = .04". Chance of Rain w/T=-Storms moving in tonight, but more likely tomorrow. And, yes, we do need it.
Mon Temps = 37/26º just a Snowy/Drizzly/Sleety day w/no sign of sun & icy, cutting winds moved in when Snow ended. Emptied gauge about 11:30am, as Snow ended & light mix of Sleet/Rain moving in. Had total of 2" Snow, which, when melted = .54", w/a core of 2.07".

Wed 7:30am 41º, H=90%, DP 39º, AP 29.90", SE winds in low teens & rains (which started early this am) are light but steady.
Tues Temps = 50/31º just a wonderful sunny day - watching the Snow melt, so by early afternoon there were only a few spots left & the rest had been absorbed by the ground. No lose of water there to run-off. On the warm side w/gentle liveable breezes. A good day to burn - ground wet enough to keep fires from spreading & breezes mild enough so embers don't blow. But still can't turn your back.

Wed Temps = 53/25º sun made several futile attempts to break thru cloud cover, incl, Fog/Mist & then gave up as scattered light showers began. Just after 2pm, while it was still raining the sun broke thru & we had Sun Showers for about 10 min. then only sun & clearing skies. Gauge had .15", which w/b emptied tom. At 5pm the skies darkened ominously w/dark clouds taking over + Thunder, bringing rains which lasted into the night.

Thurs Temps = 52/28º a nice sunny day but for the N winds which were a little too strong & chilly. Water soaking into ground nicely. Fog/mist lifted by 10am but haze remained rest of day.

Tues 7:30am 36º, H=78%, DP 31º, AP 29.95", W winds in mid-teens gusting into low 20's, a nice sun - looks like w/b strong when rest of clouds move out.
Mon Temps = 56/33º what started out as a beautiful day quickly turned "ugly" tho sun stayed out until afternoon. The winds became strong & fierce by 9:30am - whipping & gusting so hard that it was even hard to move gates, walk, drive, etc. By early a.m. had 2 more calves & in the afternoon, a 3rd, leaving only 22 more to go. Was impossible to ET & Tattoo them due to winds, but got weights & sexes as Dams (even the 1st CH's) cooperated, as usual. @ 5pm the N.W.S. issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 9pm tonight. The Storm started w/a bang just about 8pm - literally, a bang accompanied by a strong downpour (that the winds had going horizontally) & even more wildly gusting gale-like winds. The Storm moved thru very quickly & rain was gone in less than 1/2 hr.
but not the winds which cont'd. t/b strong thru the night. |

Wed Temps = 67/33º a pretty nice day, but, again the winds made it hard to work outside, esp. when demolition going on @ the Farrowing House. The winds were on the coolish side making it hard to realize the Temp reached 67º.

Doing much demolition on the Farrowing House & pretty strong nasty T-storms forecasted for tomorrow - can't do much w/the roof off & most of the sides gone, except pick up the insulation debris. But, then again, do desperately need the Rain.
Total SWE Monday from 2/20 thru this am = 0.12".

Going to have a lot of clean-up today, but it was worth it - we got 0.52" that made it into the gauge (think there was more, based on puddles, but the winds had the rain going every way but down).
Tues Temps = 72/42º quite the nice day in spite of the gusting winds w/clouds getting heavier throughout day. At 4:10pm the 1st short lasting squall hit, followed by several others, none lasting more than a few minutes. By 8pm they were over but not the increasing raging winds which were Gale-like.

Wed Temps = 63/38º a beautiful, if windy day. Storms winds left debris all over the place. The winds were so strong, during the Storm, that they moved several 6x6's & moved some of the Farrowing House sheets of metal that were on the sides of the House & under the 6x6's. But, after hearing about the damaging winds & Tornadoes, we were very lucky.

Thurs Temps = 74/35º, a beautiful Summer-like day w/strong gusting winds. Busy in a.m., again, picking up debris, much of which had blown miles & been dropped by the fierce winds (some reaching into the 40mph range). Waiting for T-storms & gale-like winds over night, again.

Cruel N winds made the chill cutting. Needless to say, anyone burning today needs t/b in a mental ward. Some areas near us got a dribble of rain, nothing here.

Noon today thru 6pm & a Wind Advisory fr. 11am to 6pm, both due to strong & gusting W winds coupled w/relative H down into the low 20's. Needless to say, w/all the Tornadoes causing massive destruction - tho, thankfully not here - we are all a little nervous.
Sat. Temps = 49/28º tho a little too much on the windy side, it was a beautiful day as the sun was very strong & when out of the wind it felt warmer than it actually was. The N.W.S. issued a Fire Weather Warning for tomorrow.

Mon Temps = 67/28º what a hot windy day. March sure is "playing games" this year. This afternoon, the N.W.S issued a Red Flag Warning & a Wind Advisory fr. 10am-7pm Tues w/very strong sustained winds of 20-30mph gusting in excess of 40mph w/some gusting +50mph coupled w/very low H.

Sun. Temps = 57/45º the a.m.'s light Precip. gave way to clearing skis & a little sun before the 2nd stage of the Storms rolled in. Then it was pretty consistent for the rest of the day into the night - Thunder was only heard a couple of times, but the winds had periods of violent whipping & howling.

Mon Temps = 55/74º the sun was out & hot by 9am. Bet. Noon & 1pm we had a few - very few - drops preceded & during strong whipping nasty winds. Clouds & sun fought for supremacy of the skies for the next 3 hrs & the winds were horrific. Just bef. 4pm the the Temp. dropped suddenly (almost 20º) as rains finally started, in spurts, at a nice rate, accompanied, of course, by even fiercer winds. And this continued thru the night - damaging winds proceeding each wave of Storms. About 10pm the lightning finally started & occasional Thunder.

This afternoon the N.W.S. issued a Flood Warning thru 11am Thurs. - a good idea as water is standing everywhere w/no place to run off any more. The Flood Watch is still in effect until midnight tonight.

Fri Temps = 72/49º rains cont'd. thru am - fr. light to med. in intensity. Then a few hrs. of just cloudiness. In the late afternoon T-storms moved in - sometimes w/a vengence. The Storms (coming in waves) included, of course, Thunder & Lightning (causing momentary power outages), ferocious winds, torrential downpours & a 15-20 min. Hail Storm about 7:30pm. The stones melted w/in a few minutes of hitting the ground, due to the Temps being in the hi 60's. By 11pm they moved out.

The severe weather of yesterday & last night went N of us, but the winds are even making walking hard. Winds & parched ground dissipating the water on the ground quickly. Early this am, the N.W.S. issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 11am & a Wind Advisory until 9pm tonight for sustained winds to 25-35mph w/gusts at least to 45mph.
Sat. Temps = 76/59º when the 1st wave of storms were over, by 9:30am, we had another .42". Next wave moved in just before 11am - no T-storm, just rain. After that, nothing but sunny-ish skies & howling winds. Not the best day for branding, but circumstances (i.e. cattle rustling) give us no choice. Coupled w/that we tried to save the life of the 2nd calf that weather conditions in the last few days have made ill - now we have 2 grieving Dams, in addition to us.

Driving was an adventure as strong gusting W-E winds tried to push vehicles off the roads & @ points, rain was so heavy you could only make out the center line on the road.

Fri Temps = 85/65º a beautiful, hot, humid, sunny & windy day until suddenly @ 2:35pm the skies clouded over & Thunder could be heard in the distance approaching rapidly. At 2:50 amid Thunder & Lightning a downpour started. This only lasted about 1/2 hr & then the day went back to before the storm. The gauge read 0.06" & the grass @ the E & S (where the gauge is) was quite wet - but - on the W & N of the house it was more like a light Dew.

Sun. Temps = 88/67º a hot, humid & breezy day waiting for the promised T-storms. The only signs of them were a short burst of Thunder about 4:10pm & the coloration of the sky, esp. in the latter afternoon. Think some jumped E of us.

Nothing like getting a call from the contractor that he wants to start demolition on the ancient Hog Houses tomorrow am vs next week. Almost a week's work on finishing getting the place ready done today & all plans for the week (except the AI'g) out the window. But, couldn't refuse - no rains forecast for this week & the Lagoons have to be drained & closed.

Tues Temps = 79/48º a beautiful hot summery day w/very mild steady light breezes. The demolition of the hog houses went well, but when the collapsed buildings were set on fire the winds (what else) came up slightly & were whipping. Thankfully, the winds weren't strong enough to cause any problems.

Hopefully can start some grading done & finish pushing in foundations. Place looks odd w/o these 2 hog houses (both well over 100' long). The older one started as a chicken house about 100 yrs. ago & was added to twice - the last converting it into a hog house. The newer was built in the mid-90's. As we never raised hogs the buildings were useless to us & we are now reclaiming 4 - 5 acres of Prairie & Prairied Wetlands.
Wed Temps = 82/52º another beautiful day w/mild breezes & a good day to get work done. Fire still smoldering but seems most of debris burned.

Our "landmarks" (the hog houses) are completely obliterated - just have to finish grading, &, then planting in June. What a relief - those buildings were dangerous, esp. the (newer) farrowing house whose roof caved in, in the middle, during the last storm.

Tues Temps = 81/46º another beautiful windy day, but not hot enough to dry out the sludge from the hog house lagoons. If we don't get hotter, sunnier weather it will adversely affect our planting back the Prairie grasses & we'll have to wait until Fall or next Spring. If that's the case, will pray that the Prairie grasses that were disturbed will grow back strong.

Wed Temps = 89/60º a hot sunny day, mitigated somewhat by the SE winds. We, personally need the hot sun & winds to dry out the sludge so we can re-seed. But what we really need is a good period of rain which would also help w/the sludge (thinning it out so it can dry faster & be mixed in w/the soil).

Thought we would get some Precip. several times, but nothing came of it as it all went N of us.

Due to their velocity the winds were quite noisy, moving anything under 10#. Especially w/this heat & winds, we are getting dry too fast & reaching a point where we desperately need some good rains. Those "amber waves of grain" are starting to dry out - too fast.

Thunder moved in quite sometime later, followed by strong T-storms w/some light periods of Hail (no pad out as nighttime & we're in bed) & a power outage about 1:15-1:30am. A lot of puddling around, including in pastures - but confident that most, if not all, will either be soaked up by the parched ground or evaporation & the coming winds.
Mon Temps = 92/73º another hot, sultry, windy day waiting for the rains to fall. Again, thankfully, strong gusty winds to make it bearable to be outside. Most of day was bright w/clouds obscuring the sun - but that strong light got thru. At times winds kicked up their heels & became extremely strong & whipping as if a T-storm was imminent - but nothing. It's so dry that when pulling weeds, they snap off v.s. being able to pull up - roots & all.

Don't want to appear greedy, but the ground still need a lot more water as we're down at least 5" for the month & many feet for the year. The N.W.S. issued a Flood Advisory @ 3:20a.m. until 9a.m. today. Wed Temps = 87/62º a strong sun & winds not too bad - helped alleviate some of the heat of the sun until latter afternoon when it seems air got very heavy. At 7:33pm the N.W.S. issued a Severe T-Storm Watch until 4a.m. Thurs. At 10pm the winds picked up considerably - foretelling the approaching T-storms, but nothing else happened until after midnight.

Thurs temps 54/72° after sun broke thru clouds, it seemed like was a pretty nice day. Unfortunately, by 11:30 AM the winds picked up, switched to the N and became cold & whipping, and the clouds took over as the temps dropped from 72° to 62 in less than 1/2 hr. Except for periods, the clouds ruled the skies and it was very windy and raw balance of the day. by 10pm it was in the mid 50s and temps were still dropping. All hopes of more rain disappeared as the air was too dry and any rain system was destroyed as it came east. |

Fri Temps = 66/47º a nasty day, rather on the raw side - virtually no sun for the clouds, even when could see patches of blue, but, none of the ferocious winds we've been having. At 2:50pm 1/2 dozen (maybe less) drops fell. At 4:50pm a light rain started. Everything is muck & mire, esp. where we closed the hog houses w/their Lagoons & the outside Lagoon - the sludge won't quit.

When the barn cats came to the house to eat, one of them was damp - which means some extremely light rain fell on the N side of our ranch - about 400' from the house..

Tues 7:20am 64º, H=81%, DP 58º, AP 30.13", NE mild air movement, a nice Dew & sun trying to break thru clouds. Puddles almost totally gone as ground was so parched it sucked up whatever water lay on top, just leaving mud.
Mon Temps = 87/64º Thunder c/b heard from 8am &, I had to leave by 9am & just as expected, the T-storms started @ 8:50 driving in fr. the NW accompanied by violently strong gusting/whipping winds v.s. the ES gusting/whipping winds. Driving the 50 mile E was an adventure. The semi's stayed below 55mph, school buses pulled onto the shoulders of the Interstate, visibility was less than a mile. Unfortunately, some drivers (mostly in smaller cars) tried to drive @ below 35mph - mostly w/o their lights on, creating a danger. The shoulders on the Interstate are wide enough to pull over comfortably. Why are people so self-centered & inconsiderate? Back @ the ranch, I was told the storms were over by 1pm.

Tues Temps = 84/61º another beautiful day w/grasses & weeds abounding - at least now the weeds c/b pulled up, w/the roots, rather easily. The storms yesterday split a rather large, old tree in thirds - of course 1/3 is hanging down over one of the fences (& hot wire) - it was a beautiful tree & a great loss, esp. for the cattle that loved to lie under it.

Air has that very still & pre-storm feeling. The T-storms that were moving SE last night (ranging N from TX) have moved E to just outside MO (now ranging fr. TX to IA/NE). Hopefully our front has moved & the air isn’t too dry so we will get the benefits of these rains.
Thurs Temps = 88/62º another hot sunny sultry day w/slightly cooling breezes.

Sat. Temps = 91/67º a hot muggy day w/little oxygen. Working outside would have been impossible without the whipping winds, which, thankfully, were on the gentle side. Window open & fans on even w/the winds made being inside bearable. |

Wed Temps = 93/72º another hot, muggy & (thankfully) windy day – much better than what they’re having on the East Coast. Got rest of Hay cut & are holding off raking as T-storms forecasted for tomorrow & if raked could lose the Hay.

Temps much more comfortable & air easier to breathe. Oddity - the winds fr. the NE, the storms fr. the NW & the rains fr. the S. The rest of the T-storms never materialized. Only puddling of water is in rocky depressions & even they're soaking in fast.

Mon Temps = 99/70-set a new record. Winds never materialized, making the hi of 99º seem even hotter than it was. If not for the Front blocking weather fr. moving N, maybe we could get some benefit from Tropical Storm Debbie.

Grasses starting to show adverse signs to the excessive heat & lack of water – unfortunately the weeds aren’t as adversely affected. Ground hasn’t started cracking yet & ponds/creeks, etc. are still holding their own for the most part, tho getting low. Early this a.m. the N.W.S. issued another Special Weather Statement for dangerous Fire Weather conditions due to the combination of low relative humidity, high temperatures.& the ongoing Drought.

Thurs Temps = 102/65º another blistering day, by mid-morning the cooling breezes had decreased to a point that they didn't help. Though we can't complain - look @ the fire-stricken areas, esp. in CO, where the excessive heat & winds are making life impossible. |

Mon Temps = 93/73º another hot one w/strong winds to mitigate the heat & some short periods of cloud cover (haven't had that in days). But, can't complain - look @ Colorado - hi heat & blazing fires, & the NE - hi heat & no power to those in & around DC. At least it's comfortable in the early a.m.'s around here even if we desperately need the rain.

Tues Temps = 98/72º winds getting stronger & more whipping as a.m. progressed & pretty solid cloud cover moved in. At 11:28 noticed a few drops of water on windshield of open-windowed cars - Precip. over by 11:35 & nary a drop showing on walkways. The gauge's spiders are still busy weaving their webs & stone dry. Can't even call what we got, a Trace. Periods of clouds & sun rest of day, accompanied by some strong, storm-like winds. This afternoon the N.W.S. issued a Heat Advisory for noon Wed (July 4th) thru 7pm Sat. This is in addition to the Special Weather Statement issued last week re burning.

According to the forecasts, we are due to get a break next early week w/lower Temps & rains. Sure hope so - ponds, creeks & rivers getting way down, &, in some places grasses really starting to look wasted. Don't know how much more of these oppressive heat animals & humans can take w/o having some pretty bad side effects, esp. those that are near term & those working outside. Seems like the heat is even getting to the flies, either I'm getting better at swatting them or they're getting slower - even found some lying dead w/o my help.

At 12:35 this a.m. a quick moving T-storm rode thru, bringing gentle soaking rains continuing for about an hour after the 30 min. of the T-storm. While it was raining, it air was bearable, when it ended air became heavy & muggy. Looks like the High that was over us has moved & more Precip. expected. Minimal signs of the rains showing up as ground absorbed it as fast as it fell.
Fri Temps = 103/72º - a record hi for this date. Hotter than hot & mediocre winds - AP was a "killer".

Grasses (&, unfortunately, weeds) rejuvenated. Early this a.m. the N.W.S. issued another Heat Advisory fr. 11am to 7pm today as "a significant incr. in DP values will bring the heat indices to 100-105º.
Sat. Temps = 104/71º - the 3rd record hi in a row. Just a hot & heavy day w/o any meaningful breezes. At 4:20pm suddenly Thunder broke the silence as strong T-storms moved in from the NE(!), by 4:40 the driveway was running & large tree limbs/branches were laying on the ground - broken off by the strong fiercely gusting winds that came in on the Storm. When the Storm ended, about 5:10 there was 0.37" in the gauge - w/more supposedly on the way - virtually no puddling, except in rocky depressions. Another .02" fell after the main Storms left. Tomorrow w/b picking up & cutting big limbs snapped on trees - hopefully no other damage was done.

Total SWE Monday from 7/2 thru this am = 0.52". Sun. Temps = 100/69º - a record-tying day. Again, hot & sunny w/heavy air & mild breezes, while we waited for the T-storms that never materialized. But, then, what does one expect when you have 2 storms systems moving in - 1 each fr. the W & E - they have to have a buffer between them & that means someone goes rain-less. Guess who!

Tues Temps = 95/70º a rather warm day w/o mitigating winds until about 5:15pm when gusty winds came up, as rains to the E of us jumped to the S & SW.

Thurs Temps = 105/77º what does one say when it looks like the "'30's Dust Bowl" is re-emerging to (hopefully, only) some extent - blazingly hot, dry & windy, w/what grasses & crops are left burning up (even weeds wilting), free running waters evaporating fast & dirt flying in the air we are trying to breathe. Now the forecasters are saying the Drought could extend to November & spread further E & N.

Sat. 7:05am 70º, H=82%, DP 64º, AP 30.08", E breezes nearing teens, a very minimal Dew (the 1st since the 13th) & sunny. The N.W.S. extended the Heat Advisory to 7pm Tuesday - guess we're really in for it as so far have had 7 days of record-setting Temps + 3 more over 100º.
Fri Temps = 102/71º thankfully the breezes were coming fr. the NE - they're more cooling than S & SW. Had to start feeding hay to the cattle today, after waiting as long as could w/o hurting them. They're remembering how to eat weeds (most of which are as, if not more), nutritious than the grasses, esp since we kill out the hurtful ones early in the season. The Prairie grasses are really starting to spread into the non-Prairie pastures, which is a good thing.

Mon Temps = 103/76º for some reason, maybe because the AP was so hi &/or the winds died, today was the worst we've had so far. Just after 4pm it pretty much clouded over & the warm winds finally came whipping up, obscuring the fierce orb we call the Sun (about time - the clouds had started trying to take over the skies for about 2 hrs.) & the Temp was 103º. By 5:30pm the Temp was down to 100º.

Tues Temps = 102/74º thankfully we had nice winds today to help move the air & give the impression of being cooler - it wasn't, as the winds were hot. Around 3:30pm started having short periods of full cloud cover, not lasting long enough however. At 5pm Temp was 102º.

Hopefully, scattered T-storms forecasted for this afternoon & evening will materialize. Don't expect a lot of Precip., but even a little w/b of great help. The N.W.S. issued a Heat Advisory for today fr. 10am-7pm & Lawrence Cty (as well as most others) still have their Burn Bans in effect.
Wed Temps = 106/76º another record-setting day. Hot & very windy. About 3pm skies clouded over & sun retook skies at 4pm 102º, at 5pm 106º - still sunny & very windy.

Thurs Temps = 95/77º a basically overcast day, but bright. Light rains jumped over us in every direction & we didn't get a drop in spite of air being heavy & you could smell the rain in the air. Very disappointing even tho we knew would only get a small amt. - something w/b better than nothing, esp. in case of a Drought.

Just about 4pm a scant handful of drops fell (not even a drop in the gauge) only to be quickly dried up by the sun which quickly reappeared. Guess when they say "chance of rain" 10% we have a better chance than when they say 40% or better - even if it's only a few drops.. Just after 2pm the N.W.S. issued another Heat Advisory fr. 11am Sat. until 7pm Sun.

These will probably be carried thru this week as forecasters are calling for Temps over 100º thru the week.
Sat. Temps = 103/68º other than it was hot & heavy, with light breezes that were also hot, what could one say about this weather.

Early this a.m. the N.W.S. extended the Heat Advisory & Red Flag Warning until 7pm Tues, but I think they should have just called it a week from the forecasts. There is also a small chance of scattered T-storms this afternoon (but don't hold your breath).
Total SWE Monday from 7/23 thru this am = 0.0". Sun. Temps = 108/76º another record-setting day. At 10am it was 99º & by 1:30pm w/skies partly cloudy 106º & a 30% chance of rain. Bet. 2:30 & 3pm it hit 110º & still cloudy. In early afternoon the N.W.S. issued a Red Flag Warning until 8pm tonight as SW winds w/b fr. 10-20mph w/gusts over 25mph. In the latter afternoon, really thought we were going to get some rain as skies darkened & fierce winds came up, blowing everything (including the dry dirt), but it never made it.

July had 17 Days 100º or higher - 7 of them records.
Tues Temps = 100/76º off & on drops of water fr. the sky during the am hrs - but gauge still as dry as dust. By noon sun really trying to break thru clouds, but a very muggy day so far. Thick cloud blanket really controlled the day w/minimal to nil where breezes concerned. Occasional drops fell, but added up to nothing in gauge. This afternoon, the N.W.S. extended the Heat Advisory until 7pm Wed, 8/1.

Wed Temps = 104/74º skies thickly clouded over by 2:30pm & by the time the 1st few drops fell fr. the sky @ 4:30 had a high of 104º. At 4:45 a light sporadic rain started falling - barely wetting the walks & not affecting the dirt blown onto vehicle windows - but it was wet & something is better than nothing. Gauge still bone dry.

Needless to say the W bedroom window was open & that area was full of dirt. The N.W.S. extended the Heat Advisory until 8pm Fri & re-issued their Special Weather Statement for a Red Flag Warning thru Sat..

Sun. 7:10am 71º, H=97%, DP 70º, AP 30.17", SW minimal air movement, lightly raining & cloudy. Sometime after 1st gauge reading, winds blew a "plug" into the funnel hole & mostly plugged it up, so not sure gauge reading is correct. Most of water already soaked into ground & few puddles in graveled drive, etc. Drought still far from over, but this surely helped - esp. if we keep getting more. Sat. Temps = 72/108º a hot, humid, sunny & windy day. Shortly after 6pm the N.W.S. issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until midnight - just as the sky darkened threatingly & the winds changed direction. The leaves on the trees also turned, taking on a pre-storm coloration. At 7 the storm hit, lasting 1/2 hr., knocking out electric for a few moments & dropping 0.13". Just before it hit we had a major dust storm, obliterating visibility past 15-20' & Temp was still 108º. When it was over the Temp had fell to the mid-70's & the breezes were refreshingly cool. The next hit about 8pm & we had several outages + an odd-colored sky. This one lasted for over 45 min. We didn't get hail but got the ferocious winds & rain coming from all 4 directions. Several more storms came, lasting from 15-30 min, the last @ 11:45pm. These storms were violent & on the scary side, but we got rain. Thru the evening Watch's became Warnings back & forth.

Mon 7:15am 67º, H=80%, DP 61º, AP 30.15", SE minimal air movement, a very wet Dew & sunny. Total SWE Monday from 7/30 thru this am = 1.05".
Sun. Temps = 94/70º a beautiful day - not @ or + 100º & nice breezes. Drizzle stopped just after emptied gauge, leaving only a Trace. Had a lot of clean-up after the storms, but the water was worth it. Some trees will have to be cut after the ground dries a bit.

It was confirmed - the "burnt orange sky" that turned a weird shade of green on Sat. evening, coupled w/the train-like noise, was an F-1 Tornado which came down about 3 mi. E of & us did quite a bit of damage in the City of Miller.

Thurs 7am 67º, H=85%, DP 62º, AP 29.92", SE mild breezes & sunny w/a lot of clouds. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but we need far more rain than this to have a chance to combat the Drought. But, on the other hand don't want floods, so guess a little @ a time is better - less run-off & better absorption.
Wed Temps = 99/66º started out to be a hot & sunny day w/mild breezes. About 2pm sky clouded over as T-storms came into the area (could hear Thunder in the distance) & by 3pm walking was hard to due fierce winds - the storms jumped SE of us (want the water, not the hail). By 6pm walking virtually impossible due to combo: force of winds, dirt "storms" & debris flying in the air. Strong T-storms & rain w/damaging Lightning began by 10:10pm & were gone by midnight, leaving us w/ 0.14" in gauge & not a puddle in sight.

Sun. Temps = 96/67º waited for the T-storms they were predicting, but nothing. About 10:15pm could hear Thunder in the distance & see Lightning nearby to our NW & W. Don't know who got the rain last night, but it wasn't around here. This isn't good at all. Fall calving season started here this am. - 2 wks early fr date the Dam went to the Bull.

Forecasters calling for light rains this am - but they've been so wrong recently that afraid to put faith in it, even if KS is getting rains which are moving due East. Early this am, the N.W.S. re-issued their Special Weather Statement applicable to Wed. for an elevated significant risk for wildfires, due to 90"s Temps coupled w/gusty SW winds & the Drought.
Mon Temps = 82/64º shortly after filing yesterday's report, the clouds "knocked the sun out of the ballpark" & never returned until 6pm. Cool NW winds came up & felt like rain (H in low 70%'s & DP in low 60º's) - but nothing wet fell. It was more like a Fall day (mostly in 70º's) than Summer & leaves on trees starting to really turn Autumn colors. But not complaining as man, beast & flora need the break.

Tues Temps = 79/58º droplets from the sky! Light drizzle & rains sporadically thru the day into evening & every drop precious. When I 1st checked the gauge about 3pm, the water was brownish/red due to the dirt in it - at least it got a good cleaning. Ground soaked rain up as fast as it fell. Have to say it was a raw day - definitely not like Summer, maybe late Autumn (the leaves turning Fall colors & falling off the trees sure make it seem that way). Weeds growing like bandits, but easier to pull now that ground received some moisture.

Sun. 6:55am 69º, H=96%, DP 67º, AP 30.0", S winds in low teens & light rains started sometime around 4am this morning (will give total tom. am, but right now @ 0.25").
Sat. Temps = 88/68º a muggy day w/periods of sun that diminished as the day progressed. SE winds were constant, @ times w/strong gusts. Light rain began 3:25pm & only lasted 1/2 hr. or so (=0.05"), then some sun. Friends w/in a 4 mi. radius told us their gaugues were 1" - 1.4", guess we weren't lucky. Weaning went quickly & easily, now listening to the bawling Dams & calves - their not as bad as their Dams (when their bags get full they bellow).

Mon 6:50am 67º, H=99%, DP 68º, AP 30.09", NW minimal breeze & socked in by Fog. When woke about 5:30, couldn't see out windows, now can see 1/2 way down 1/10 mi. driveway. Not a puddle to be seen. At least can hope "old wives tale" about rain 90 days after a heavy Fog will hold true (but, that's 11/25 & don't know if we ranchers & farmers can hold out that long). Total SWE Monday from 8/20 thru this am = .46". Sun. Temps = 82/69º rains came in 3 or 4 spurts thru the day, never heavy or long - but, every drop precious.

Mon Temps = 91/67º a hot sunny & breezy Summer day w/some periods of clouds after the heavy Fog lifted (by about 9am) accompanied by gusty winds - rain-like feeling but nothing fell. Hope Hurricane Isaac brings us more rain & in greater amounts than over this weekend. It maybe too late for this year's crops, but sure would go a long way to helping out the Flora & filling ponds/creeks, etc. for the wildlife. The downside however w/b the damage he'll do to the Gulf Coast - it's a no-win situation.

As we already have 0.79" in just a few hours & this is supposed to continue thru Saturday, can easily see us getting over 2" - not a Drought-breaker by any means, but help for the short-term. Drive-way has water running down it & depressions are filling quite nicely. Will have to file the duration info after the rains stop.

An additional .31" gives us 1.50" since Isaac moved in, which only amts to 3.37" for August - not good, but better than it was & weeds growing fast & furiously. Fri Temps = 78/70º Isaac's rains & winds cont'd. thru the day & by 3pm, when they took a short hiatus & the gauge had another 0.40" = 1.19" so far. Then, about 1/2 hr. later the rains ret'd. & cont'd pretty steadily thru the rest of the day, tho never really heavy & at times just a heavy light mist. The Ground Fog never dissipated totally.

Sat. Temps = 84/67º rained most of day w/light Ground Fog. Weeds quickly gathering strength, height & in quantity, quickly outgrowing grasses, which seem to be perking up greatly. Ground soft to 2-3", which means we got a good soaking. Walkways starting to dry by 7:30pm.

Never rec'd. any of the rains or T-storms that hit sporadically - mostly S & W of us - even tho for a short time we were under a Severe T-storm Warning.

Gauge had an additional 0.26"" fr. time filed the S.W.R., giving us a total of 0.93"". Except for rocky areas & depressions, no puddles or water in run-offs as ground took it all in.
Fri Temps = 62/93º this afternoon, the N.W.S. issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 10pm tonight. When the T-storms hit the Temps dropped suddenly & never recovered. Filed a Significant Weather Report after the worst was over - the Lightning/Thunder had moved on & the rains had lessened to a nice rate. The winds increased again whipping & almost howling until about 11pm. Could hear cracking as large branches snapped.

Sat. Temps = 74/54º what a gorgeous, sharp, clear & cool day - bright blue sky w/few thin clouds & mild NW breezes. Just about a perfect day. Spent quite some time cutting & picking up large limbs (as well as small branches) of trees damaged by the T-storms & winds. Not to mention, pulling up quickly growing tall weeds that were just waiting for some rains to sprout - but it was easy as the ground so wet. Just wish the grasses grew as fast, esp. for the livestock which are now eating weeds again. Guess there is some "good" to a Drought - they re-learn how to eat the weeds that are nutritious. We get to pull the weeds w/thorns & stickers, which they normally avoid.

Ground still absorbing the water almost as fast as it falls, as run-offs don't have standing water in them. Since the start of this storm system the gauge has +1", but not emptying it until rain stops. Guess the forecasters who said a max. of 0.25", misread their maps.
Fri Temps = 61/53º when the rains left off, about 2:30pm, gauge showed exactly 0.40". But, what a nasty, raw, windy, drizzly/rainy day - a hint of Wintry weather to come? Sure hope not.

Finally got into the Original Native Prairie & work on the damage done to the trees during the Summer - when the Drought was so bad we were afraid to do work. It was worse than we thought. Several Persimmon & Black Cherry trees had been blown down or so badly damaged that they had to be taken down. Went in @ 11:30am (planning to work about 2 hrs) & left @ 4:30pm) & only got to work on the So. side of the creek & the NW side of the Pond & still have plenty to do there. Dread going to the other treed areas. The winds this Summer were absolutely deadly. It's heartbreaking.
