Even though we are only at 25% of norm of PRISM WYTD we have had high humidity for the past couple months keeping the soil very moist. We have run above the dew point many nights the past couple months providing moisture. After almost 1” of rain overnight my yards soils can absorb no more. Water is puddled all around the yard and the soil has not been dry or cracked. No Sprinklers have not been used for weeks. Tonight we are supposed to get at least another inch which will generated a lot of runoff for the area. I’ll be watching local stream flows tonight. I would expect tomorrow we will be severely wet. I will dig down 12” and see what kind of penetration this rain is getting through our hard clay soil.
