All of your precip dreams come true
8/9/2021 at 3:24 PM

After a bit of a rain this morning, quite the downpour right now in Brandon. With the way radar is lining up there’s lots more to come. Here’s hoping just enough so solve problems from lack of precip but not enough between overland flooding and extra curricular stuff to cause problems that Seemed impossible 24 hours ago ….

It’s nice to see a decent rain for sure but it’s too late to help us out much this year. We can only hope this is the start to rebuilding ground and soil moisture as well as dugout levels in Preparation for next spring. We are going to need a lot more rain and some decent wet winter snows to make up the shortfall.

Just under 30 mm in my gauge on Riverheights and still coming down steady. The lawns and gardens are happy.

Sorry to hear that, I know this has been an awful year for growers.

I’m registering 37mm in West end so far. Probably not the last of it by the look of radar.

We must of been sitting on the line of some of the heavier storms, 3.5 inches so far, was actually able to go out and walk through a few puddles on the lane.
The plum creek, that flows through our pasture has not flowed any in the last 45 days, and some dugouts have become unusable because they just became mud pits, this will definitely help.
Just got a picture from my son, who only lives 1/2 mile away, and his gauge shows 2.8 inches.

3/4", and rain barrels all full, so good for a day or two.

Just under an inch, Kenton area. It is bad timing for grain farmers, but great for those with cattle pastures, gardens, lawns & trees. Those were already losing their green leaves to try to conserve water.

It is a start.
