Low 90's today, down from our normal 110+ . Winds from the South, overcast, clouds building all day. Early evening skies angry & threatening, heavily laden with moisture; - hopefully we'll get a decent rain out of this, we sure need it. About 2030 Hrs. clouds low & angry, lots of Lightning & Thunder Boomies. By 2300 Hrs. it's ALL GONE, NO RAIN!, nothing, zero, nada, zip. Not even so much as ONE MEASLY DRIP.

DRAT ! We needed that rain; if it get's any drier here, Death Valley will need to expand it's boundaries (again).

Maybe "azpeapicker" can get some benefit out of this, it was headed his way.

How's the chance for RAIN in your neck of the woods?

The catfish have been coming in to the stock tank at night to sneak a drink. Our best chances for rain is later this week. It's too late to do any good this growing season but I'd like to see a wet fall to replenish the ground. We grow crops on stored moisture and when there is no reserve it's hard to get through the summer.
 
Very dry in e. Tx. Grass, trees are wilting. You know its bad when the goat weed starts shriveling up.

We did get a little rain on Sept. 2, but with temps close to 100, it didn't help much.

No rain in the 10 day, but temps coming down just a little.
 
Nebraska Cowman:

I truly understand that reserve situation. In the last 30 years my water table has dropped over 40 feet; but the population of our area has gone from 2000 to over 38000. Our local Farmers got together & decided that they could make more money by sub-dividing their land and selling it as real-estate than they ever could by farming it. Then they advertised "cheap land" without first putting the infrastructure in place, and now our community is playing "catch-up".

I moved here because I wanted to live in a small Farming Community, not a big city suburb; but now were the 60 mile away "bedroom community" for Las Vegas (just where I DIDN'T want to be, another suburb).
