July 2023 was a fairly normal July. We missed most of the predicted heavy storms with damaging winds, large hail and torrential rainfalls. Most mornings were cloudy with temperatures ranging from the high 50’s to the high 60’s. The afternoons warmed into the low to mid 80’s. I did note a 90 degree reading on the 29th.  We did have 17 foggy mornings, 7 thunderstorms a damaging wind and hail event on the 19th. Normal readings for July look like this. High 78 and low 56 degrees.
The average rainfall for the month is 4.27″  We received 4.37″  Last year the reading was 2.37″ 
Pine Creek looks healthier, however we are still short on rainfall for the year. Nevertheless, the grass is growing which allows everyone to get out and mow.
