7/8/2015 8:00 AM 0.01 M M M M A light thunderstorm developed east of the Elkhorn Mountains before 6am yesterday morning on July 7. Slowly but surely it moved west to Baker Valley and finally to our ranch in the center of the valley just after 8:20am, ending by 8:30am. It was just enough to settle the dust!
7/9/2015 8:00 AM 0.07 M M M M Several thunderstorms developed by the afternoon yesterday. There were 3 in the vicinity of my location, one to the ENE (towards the Wallowa Mts.), one to the ESE (near Keating), and one to the SW over the Blue Mts. They were hardly moving at all, but one moved enough to soak us for about 20 minutes. Out in our hay meadow (and fortunately), no measurable rain fell. (Our hay meadows are about 1 miles south of my rain gauge.)

7/11/2015 8:00 AM 1.76 M M M M An amazing thunderstorm barreled through Baker Valley from the south at 5:25 pm yesterday afternoon, bringing heavy rain I have never seen before! Within 15-20 minutes over 1 inch of rain had fallen. For a minute or two there was even some small hail roughly the size of a grain of rice to pea-sized. The lightning and thunder was frequent and occasionally very intense. The winds, on the other hand, were fairly light. My personal weather station recorded a gust to 23 mph at 5:53pm just as the heaviest rain was passing. The station even recorded a max rain rate of 12.26 inches/hr at 5:35pm! The rain came really fast, and there was some ponding of water in fields around the house and some deep channels in our driveway. Our main irrigation channel above our house even flooded its banks. I am not sure how the rest of the valley fared in terms of flooding, but it was quite a storm. Our several year drought is definitely over now!
7/12/2015 8:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Occasional rain showers fell throughout the day yesterday, with a spotty shower overnight. The rains/thunderstorms from July 10th have still left their mark on the ground! Many of our fields and pens still have some standing water in them and plenty of mud. We definitely needed it though to help ease the drought.
7/13/2015 8:00 AM 0.26 M M M M A thunderstorm moved through the area in the mid-afternoon with very heavy rain at times. It lasted about 1 hour.
7/14/2015 8:00 AM 0.16 M M M M A thunderstorm moved in an dropped just over a tenth of an inch.

8/11/2015 8:00 AM T M M M M A dry thunderstorm moved in from the south with tons and tons of lightning, but very little rain actually fell. It started a huge fire just south of Baker City. (Cornet and Windy ridge Fires) They were some of the worst fires this area has seen in many years.
8/12/2015 8:00 AM T 0.0 M M M Two thunderstorms moved through our vicinity. One that came in around 12:30am moved in a northerly direction but was well east of our location. The second storm (around 7am) was over the Elkhorns to our west, also moving south to north. Plentiful lightning and little rain with each. High fire danger.

It was a relief to finally have some, even though the total was fairly light. We need more to help combat and prevent more fires and for a good water supply next year.

9/18/2015 8:00 AM T M M M M Only a few sprinkles fell yesterday. The forecast had called for periods of moderate rain, but much of our area was left high and dry. One band of rain did move about 1/2 mile to our north, (it moved west to east), because the top of our driveway, our mailboxes, and the gravel was all wet, but down at the main house, it was almost completely dry. For the most part, however, the sky was mixed with clouds and sun, and any bands of rain that came close stayed over the nearby mountain ranges.
