Cristobal Moisture

Thought I would resurrect this.....At the farm in Eagle Rock, its really hot and dry at home in Cassville got a good localized rain yesterday I believe. I'm not sure the farm has had anything significant in awhile....been a lot of close calls. KY3 is showing predicted 2.5-4" rainfall over the next week and lower temps. I sure hope it pans out or I will be feeding hay in August.

Nice rain here this AM, and they are predicting more, especially tomorrow.  Cooler temps on the way too, which my electric bill will appreciate.

I like to keep ya'll reminded of how quickly the tables can and do turn. 

Still in a drought in a significant portion of the White River Drainage basin and doesn't appear to be any relief in sight. 

Did a quick check of the NWS Springfield. 

YTD- 40.16" precipitation Normal value is 33.06

Already 2" rain behind for September.

August was 2.5" short of normal.

July was 1" short of normal. 

June was short too. 

We darn near got the entire years precipitation in the first 5 months of the year. I'd say the dam system did exactly what it was supposed to do. 

Beaver and TRL are steady at normal levels. BS dropping steady.

Yep, it’s an annual average. If we get extra in the Spring there is usually a short fall later that offsets it.
