After a pretty decent May, at least here in the foothills NW of Fort Collins, thunderstorms typical of early June have been noticeably absent. If we don’t get some rain soon, our next hope will be for the monsoon pattern to kick in mid-July. At least that’s the typical pattern, however it seems it has been a while since we’ve had a robust monsoon pattern in this area in July/August. Here’s hoping we don’t see the hot/dry summer pattern that has dominated many recent years. Maybe this is the year we get a decent monsoon showing .

Good to hear - whatever the exact measurement is it sounds like you got a good rain. Here in northern Colorado we can't buy a good rain now. At my location northwest of Fort Collins we're currently at 70 days without any significant precip. We seem to be too far north, too far south, too far east, or too far west to catch any storm that comes along. We've run out of directions to miss storms from
