10/3/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hoping we get some rain this week as it's been quite a while since the last shower. Trusting an early submission is OK as there's no sign of rain and I have an early departure for work.
10/4/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
10/5/2016 7:00 AM 0.23 M M M M I guess that some is better than none but this didn't do much more than settle the dust and water in the hollyhock seeds I planted in my pollinator garden yesterday afternoon.
10/6/2016 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Some thunder and lightning but not much to show for it. Radar indicates there may be more to come...or it may slip on to the north.
10/7/2016 7:00 AM 2.10 M M M M about 1 1/3 inches fell during the first 12 hours of this reporting period, most during the morning hours. There were very few puddles by evening so most of this precipitation was probably very beneficial. There was very heavy rain around 7:30am west of El Dorado and rain extended through the morning hours in Butler...it was still sprinkling at noon.

10/11/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M There actually might have been a trace of rain but I was away from home when it fell in adjacent communities w/in 20 miles of my home and there was no moisture in the gauge.
10/12/2016 7:00 AM 0.26 M M M M Forecast was for rain off and on all day but radar suggests this may be all we can expect.
10/13/2016 7:00 AM 0.11 M M M M Hadn't anticipated this precipitation which occurred as the cold front moved through in mid-afternoon. There was some small hail associated with it about 19 miles east of Osceola and the rain rates varied widely, from heavy to relatively light in the band from Rt. 82 to Rt. 54 along Rt. 13.

10/20/2016 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Enough rain for a few moments to justify wipers and lights but not enough to get out the umbrella when I walked to the mailbox.

1/14/2017 7:00 AM 0.16 M M M M Light mist started right at 7:00 a.m. on 1/13/17. It got a bit heavier north of Collins but by the time I reached Osceola the roads were dry (all the plows from the highway garage were headed south)and the trip to Clinton was no different than any other day. Light rain in Clinton around 10:00 a.m. but when I left town at 3:00 the roads were pretty much dry all the way back to Collins. Biggest challenge came the last two miles on my gravel road which was glazed like the top of a Boston cream pie. I was lucky to crest the last hill before my house but needed 4 wheel drive to do it.
1/15/2017 7:00 AM 0.40 M M M M Temperature sitting at 32 so some rain freezing on branches but at least you can walk on the driveway without fear of falling. Freezing fog all day yesterday so the overnight warm up from 30 to 32 welcome.

2/7/2017 7:00 AM T M M M M Very light mist from mid-morning until around 3 yesterday afternoon. It was perfect situation for rotary-tilling the field I burned Sunday afternoon with just enough wind to help scatter the hand sown wildflower seed I gathered last year. Had hoped for a nice thundershower to settle the seed firmly in its bed but no such luck. Temperature was in the low 60s at midnight and 66 at 3 a.m. One clap of thunder and a lightning bolt around 3:30 but nothing to show for it. It was 46 at 7:00 a.m. What a surprise!! Back to the Sunday burn...there was barely the hint of a breeze and it was a good thing as the field burned quickly and with great vigor. Although the soil was moist when I tilled, we have had very little precipitation over the past few weeks and burning conditions are borderline as it would be easy to lose control, at least in grassy situations where the fuels are flashy.

3/1/2017 7:00 AM 0.28 M M M M Storm hit around 11:15 with driven, nickel-sized hail. Fought a timber fire for five hours on Tuesday. This was not enough precip to make a difference as timber fire was difficult to control and leaf mold and soil dry. What would have normally been an adequate, even overblown, fire break failed on numerous occasions and we even had fire jump a well blown vehicle access lane.

3/10/2017 7:00 AM T M M M M Just a few drops...enough to ruin chances to check bees when paired with a required meeting in the afternoon. We were fortunate to escape the hail and downpour that hit Osceola ~ 15 miles north of here

9/17/2017 7:00 AM 0.52 M M M M Nice to finally get some precip. While I didn't look for the stones, I believe there was some small hail associated with this thunderstorm.

9/19/2017 7:00 AM 0.11 M M M M Surprised that there was this little amount of precipitation as the downpour around 2:00 p.m. was quite heavy.

9/25/2017 7:00 AM T M M M M Nothing in the gauge but a few big drops mid-Sunday afternoon...then continued dry.
9/26/2017 7:00 AM T M M M M A few big drops mid-afternoon but not enough to wet an entire surface.
9/27/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The pavement was wet five miles east of here at 9:00 a.m. on 9/26 but nothing here. It sounds/feels like it might rain any minute but it is also chilly so that may not happen (and we could use the rain!).
9/28/2017 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Just enough rain to dampen things in the morning and then a few more drops in the afternoon. We certainly could use some more.

I left early on 4/22 so wasn't present to verify precipitation. It did rain in Sarcoxie and points south of I-44 through the afternoon but if may have been dry here.
