"Scattered" and "isolated" were the words of the week when it came to weather. Erik Draper reported a recent rainfall event that lasted just 20 minutes, but left 3/4" of rain behind in that short span of time. Randy Zondag reported that year-to-date precipitation totals in the northeast varied greatly from Avon, Madison, and Perry with ranges from 18-27". Joe Boggs reported "officially" that Cincinnati is nearly 9" above normal for the year, but also mentioned that 1" fell between June 4 and June 5, and since that event it has been dry with only 0.10" being reported. Storms continue to work their way across the state, soaking certain areas, and leaving others high and dry. Remember, there is nothing like putting a shovel into the ground to determine the soil moisture level.

The following weather information summarizes data collected at various OARDC Weather Stations spanning the dates: June 1, 2008-June 25, 2008 with the exception of the soil temperatures which are readings from Wednesday, June 25 at 12:00 p.m.
