Submitted: 6/03/2017 6:48 AM

Description:
Rainfall over the past 7 days was actually below normal at 0.49 inch with very good drying rates. Soil moisture is still above normal after being severely wet just a week ago. Local plants, crops, or pastures are healthy, recovering from and draining from wet conditions. Areas of standing water have mostly dried up and most runoff from hillsides has stopped. Water logged areas of my yard were actually able to be mowed yesterday. Creeks and rivers are returning to normal levels. We finished May 12.26 inches ahead of the normal year to date rainfall. Annual rainfall of 31.27 inches compared to normal rainfall of 43 inches in an entire year!

Spring Weather Outlook

Spring is looking very active and stormy. With a very active jet stream, temperatures should be above normal in general, although late frosts remain possible in such a pattern. An active spring weather pattern favors severe weather.

Drought does not look likely in the spring in Cincinnati. Soils are currently wet and an active weather pattern favors additional precipitation chances.
