Shortly after midnight the N.W.S. issued a Flash Flood Warning until 12:15pm today. Fri Temps = 66/53º, breezes into winds in the mid teens from every direction (as day went on), by time Rains ended, about 9am, we had another 0.05".

Can't make up for what the several years of Drought & near Drought have done, but can start over &, hopefully, learn from past mistakes - plant Native.

Not quite as brisk & invigorating as the past couple of morns & w/a promise of a hot one as the day progresses. Thurs Temps = 81/53º, primarily S gentle breezes w/a minimum amt. of gusting into low teens & sunny. A good day for haying (if your equipment doesn't act up - no matter how much maintenance you put into it to get it ready to go) & crop tending. Guess we're moving into the dry season - forecasted wet weather for this week-end's been pushed back to Tues., maybe!

Temps = 88/67º, SW winds into the low 20's & a strong sun w/some clouds. Unfortunately, as good as the grasses are growing, the weeds are outpacing them - some of them toxic to livestock. Haven't seen any Jimson Weed yet or much of the Polk, but the Colorado Bur & Thistles are coming in strong & they cut into the mouths of the the livestock. Waded, for the 2nd time this season into the SWP thru the waist hi grasses to cut out Thistles & pull the Bur - that was some exercise as it's thick as can be & still have more to get out before they cut it for Hay.

At 1am could see Lightning to W & by 2am it was here with strong whipping winds, but real T-storm didn't move in until 5am, taking several jabs @ the electric & dumping a lot of water. Right now either gone or in hiatus so emptied gauge of 0.96". At least can breathe again. Wed Temps = 87/71º, SE winds in mid-hi teens & a blazing sun w/clouds increasing as day wore on. A hot & very muggy day.

Emptied gauge of 0.05" from this am's "T-storms" which were mostly Lightning & strong winds. Thurs Temps = 90/65º, S winds in mid teens w/gusting into low 20's & sunny once the T-storms moved out. About 11:20pm strong whipping winds & lightning but no Rain. Guess the N.W.S. doesn't want t/b fooled again as they were w/last pm's/this am's T-storms, so @ 7:07pm they issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 2am Fri.

Emptied gauge of 0.46" water from T-storms that moved in about 3:30am & took out the electric for a bit. Looks/sounds like more Rains any minute. The N.W.S. issued an Excessive Heat Warning from 1pm-7pm today as Temps w/b in the mid 90's w/hi H which will give us Heat Index Values of 105-110º just like yesterday. Fri Temps = 91/65º, SE winds in low-mid teens until latter afternoon when they changed to W & a blazing sun. Heat Index about 105º - talk about oppressive.

By the time the whipping winds calmed down & the Rain ended we had another 0.05" in the gauge & the air was light & fresh - seemed t/b much cooler than the T read. What a relief. By 4pm the skies had clouded up but remained bright.

At least could get a lot of the cutting done, once the Dew dried off, so we can rake & bale tomorrow.

Fri Temps = 82/65º, S winds except during T-storms when changed to N. Emptied gauge of 1.24" from a sudden T-storm that descended about 10:30am & lasted about an hr. according to Al & a neighbor. This Rain was a very vertical storm, not like that same group of storms where I was in Springfield, about 48 mi. E. Approx. 11:30am gale-force N winds, horizontal curtains of water, Lightning & Thunder - lasting about 30-40 min & dropped close to 2" or more. These T-storms were fast moving & when out everything back to a normal sunny day w/quite a lot of clouds & Temps quickly returned to their low-mid 80's.

Mon Temps = 76/60º, breezes switched to NW as spits of Rain fell sporadically thru day until 4pm when a steady Rain started to fall & then @ 4:30 a torrential one where visibility was down to, maybe 1/4 mile. This only lasted about 15 min. & left 0.54" in the gauge & clear fresh air w/virtually no H noticeable. Then thru the rest of the day & thru the night until early morning (Tues) T-storms moved thru.

Wed Temps = 94/75º, mostly SW winds & another day w/a blazing sun. These THI's @ 105 & over are getting tiresome. If there weren't bales still out in the pastures cooling down, it would be time to do another cutting. Rains & Temps this year, as last, were just perfect. Looks like we'll be able to graze into the Winter & feed little hay. That's ok, the cattle seem to like 2-3 year old hay better than this year's.

Thurs Temps = 95/75º, WS mild breezes w/a little gusting into low teens (could have used more winds to help breath), THI about 105º, & a blazing sun.

Fri Temps = 97/72º, nice "cooling" SW winds most of day &, of course, a blazing sun. Everything but the Prairie is drying up - fast - ponds & flora. The cattle only eat in the early am & after the sun goes down, the rest of the time they're under trees & drinking water.

Already have puddles & hope Rains won't get any harder so the ground (which is hard as concrete) will have a chance to absorb the water. Forecasters saying this heat wave is over for the short time - today thru at least Mon. - & the THI's won't be up around 105 or more. Wed Temps = 98/74º, mild SW mostly & the blazing sun started being obscured by clouds by 1pm never fully getting thru them for the rest of the day, except for a momentary period or two.

By the time the Rain ended about 10:45am, gauge held another 0.58". About 7:30pm a light Rain started & by 7:40 was coming down pretty hard & fell back to a gentle Rain by 8pm & continued off & on thru the night. Guess that makes up for the lack of oxygen & mugginess of today.

On the way back a torrential downpour lasting only minutes - nothing @ the Ranch. Then, suddenly, @ 7pm from the W (moving E) a torrential downpour w/the sun shining & a Rainbow = 0.15" in the gauge & dried up w/in 15 minutes. If the gauge hadn't had water in it would have thought I just heard the wind come up.

Definitely the aura of Fall. Thurs Temps = 90/66º, S & SW light winds, sunny & muggy. About 4:15pm, returning from Granby (SW of the Ranch) we ran into a serious storm & the Lightning was beautiful tho terrifying. Twice during the storm actually considered pulling off the road, but the torrential downpours only lasted 5-10 minutes & alternated w/managable Rains. When we got back to the Ranch we only had had a light Rain, leaving .04" in the gauge, which added to the a.m. Rain gave us 0.06" for the day.

Emptied gauge of 0.14" after the Rains ended (this last was more like left-over drips). This system dropped more Rain (2.61") than in July - very thankful.

Thunder moving closer by 12:45pm & Rains began @ 1:10pm - 1st hard then tapered off (finished rinsing off the car for me) & then started up again. Guess we're getting what they promised us would begin this past week-end. Storms ended about 3:30pm & gauge held 1.82" of water. About 8:30pm the winds kicked up a medium wind storm, air became cooler & Rain was again coming down @ a nice pace by 8:50, Thunder just before 10pm & the Rains continue.

Went to check on the Fall Calvers about 6:30pm & was welcomed by a heavy sun Shower - when got back to the house, nothing had fallen there. At 8pm the winds came up whipping & dropping the Temp. like a storm was about to hit - nothing & they abated back to gentle breezes in 1/2 hr. About 9pm saw Lightning to the N of us, but, again, nothing.

By 8am we have 1.40" & Rain still falling. Some light Thunder earlier. Mon Temps = 89/71º, a sunny muggy day w/the experience of a 90% coverage of the Solar Eclipse, which darkened the skies & gave everything an eerie light. Not a sound could be heard during it - not from the birds, insects or livestock & the gentle breezes even stilled.

Guess this week-end's forecast has changed - Rains may get here sooner than Sun. pm. Fri Temps = 82/59º, a pleasant sunny day until late afternoon when the Storm cloud from Hurricane Harvey obliterated all signs of the sun & it got darker as the storm hit Texas.
