The past two days have brought flooding rains to the state, and we are finally going to get a couple of dry days.  Our total rainfall since Thursday night was 1.84″.  Many areas of the state received 2-3 inches.  None of the fields in this area have been touched and many have ponds standing in them.  This is a tragic growing season for the farmers to be sure.  We keep hoping that the rains will end but it just keeps happening.  It wouldn’t be so bad if they were normal showers, but each brings anywhere from half an inch to 1-2 inches.

Our 9:15 AM temperature is 59°F (15°C), the humidity is 72%, and winds are from the west at 5 mph.  The dew point is 53°F (12°C).  The pressure is 30.00 in (1015.9 mb) and rising.  The dew point is 53°F (12°C) and visibility is 10 miles.  Skies are clear.  Yesterday’s high was 65°F (18°C) and the overnight low was 50°F (10°C).  Averages for this date are 78°F / 57°F.  Sunrise was at 5:57 AM and sunset will be at 9:18 PM on this first day of summer.
