incoming weather

[mike89]

checked the rain gauge before I went to town and we did about.2 of rain last night, as we all have said better than nothing!!!!   

[roony]

About a third of an inch here this morning. Better than a poke in the eye

[Dotch]

Tallied a total of .56" here in Bugtussle. Most rain in town since the surprise shower back on the afternoon of June 29th.

[LPS]

According to the noon weather it looks like youse guys in the middle of the state may be getting some rain later on this afternoon.  My fingers are crossed for you.

[Steve-o]

There is a great, big comma-shaped storm east of Rochester extending over much of southern WI and down into IL.  Luuuu-key. 
Yes, a little up north, and everyone else gets zilch.

[Dotch]

Very lucky as coverage in this part of the world has been very spotty at best since mid-May.  .63" at the ranch this forenoon. It's raining in Chicago so the grain markets should tank.

[roony]

Dotch always gets the nicest rain.

As if on cue:

Corn: December corn fell 17 3/4 cents to $4.83 3/4, ending near the session low. Corn futures succumbed to pressure amid an overall more bearish than expected tone in USDA’s supply and demand updates.
Soybeans: November soybeans fell 32 1/2 cents to $13.27 3/4 and near the session low. August soybean meal lost $5.30 to $410.90 and near the session low. August bean oil closed down 29 points at 64.34 cents, near mid-range and saw profit taking after hitting a seven-month high Monday. The soybean complex futures saw selling pressure today as weather in the Corn Belt has turned wetter.
Wheat: September SRW futures led the wheat complex lower, falling 27 3/4 cents to $6.32 3/4. September HRW futures fell 14 cents on the session before settling at $8.03. September spring wheat futures fell 8 1/2 cents to $8.59 1/2. Wheat bulls lost their footing as USDA came in with higher production estimates than the market anticipated.
Cotton: December cotton fell 47 points to 81.65 cents and near the session low. Prices hit a six-week high early on today. The cotton market fell victim to solid losses in the corn, soybean and wheat futures markets today.
Cattle: Broad ag market selling sank the livestock markets Wednesday. August live cattle futures fell $1.95 to $176.875, while August feeders dipped 57.5 cents to $246.575. Live and feeder cattle fundamentals remain supportive, which likely accounted for today’s early push to fresh short-term highs across the livestock complex.
Hogs: August lean hog futures led the complex lower, falling $2.225 to end the day at $95.35. Nearby July futures saw a mild loss of 10 cents before settling at $101.175. Lean hog futures gave up most of yesterday’s gains as prices were unable to take out last week’s high and selling spilled over from volatile grain markets following today’s USDA Supply and Demand report.

[roony]

Albert Leaf seems to really get ALL the rain.

[glenn57]

talking chance of thunderstorms of the scattered nature tonight!!!!!!!!  yea i'll believe it when its actually thundering.....

[Bobberineyes]

I picked up a variety of fertilizer 3 weeks ago,  still not a chance to drop any in these parts. The dock lakeside is getting close to 3' off the water, Remi even at 9 gets some serious air before he hits. He doesn't mind..

[markn]

At campground and we have one small cell going by to the south of us and one coming in from the northwest. Might get clipped by the one to the north.

[markn]

Getting a bit closer.

well bring that sucka down to cold spring bud!!!!!!!!!!

[roony]

Two showers came through here bringing a total of a quarter inch. I heard it rained a lot more a few miles south of me.

[Gunner55]

  The radar looked kind of nasty about 7:30-8 last night but all we got was a little thunder out of it.  It looked like the north end of the lake might've gotten a little wet though.

[Steve-o]

We got thunder and 1/4". 

What do they say is ideal?  1" per week?  They way things have been lately, we'll be lucky if we get another 1/4" two weeks from now. 

[mike89]

yup

[Dotch]

Narrow band of hail last nite ~7 p.m. west of town. A photo of one of the unhappy corn fields. Rain was spotty again but our luck has changed at the ranch. With the .71" last nite & the .63" the nite before that's more rain than we got the entire month of June.

[roony]

That looks like some serious hail went through there. I'd rather be dry i guess.

[mike89]

hail vs crops   not good at all

[mike89]

[LPS]

We have a half inch in the rain gauge and the driveway was real wet when we got home. 

[roony]
