MDT saw a +10.3 avg. temp departure yesterday, now running a robust +5.3 for the month. That looks to level out a good bit in the coming weeks but August still very likely to end solidly on the warm side. YTD MDT is +.8 degree departure. As for rain, .51" for MDT yesterday and they are almost spot-on avg. for the year.
