Oh, anyway, on to scene twenty-four, which is a smashing scene with some lovely acting, in which Arthur discovers a vital clue, in which there aren't any swallows, although I think you can hear a starling....

Interested in learning the ins and outs of how the @DroughtCenter US Drought Monitor is created each week? On August 7th at 1pm MDT there will be a 1h35m presentation on the process with 25 minutes for Q&A to follow. Register here: https://t.co/lZwBnAcO2Z #wywx

@DarylRitchison Those bird deterrents really worked well! 😂 Looks like a perfect home for the new family!

Double rainbow yesterday seen from our #Mesonet station about 35 miles southwest of Gillette. 0.11" precip received yesterday. Other dots on the map are from @CoCoRaHS stations in the "area." #wywx

[WY Climate Office @WyoClimateWater]

#Wyoming. At about 0.17% of the total US Population, our @CoCoRaHS observers have contributed approx 1.37% of the nation's daily observations over the last year. Well done! And we can always use more observers...so join us and report your precip! #wywx https://t.co/QVhJNQ0kT1

[WY Climate Office @WyoClimateWater]

Last 30 days precip as percent of Normal. <50% of Normal in the southwest. Eastern plains and north central Wyoming getting some good moisture. Become a https://t.co/QVhJNQ0SIz volunteer, we'll provide a gauge and you can help fill in some of the data gaps on the map. #wywx

[WY Climate Office @WyoClimateWater]

Southeast Wyoming, especially, looks to be getting some decent precipitation in the coming days. We can always use volunteer precipitation observers in the #CoCoRaHS network here. Sign up here https://t.co/bNTxoBd2Wk and we'll equip any Wyoming volunteers who sign up. #wywx

[WY Climate Office @WyoClimateWater]

176 CoCoRaHS observers reporting precipitation so far today. Unfortunately in a state like #Wyoming, even with that many observers, it leaves a lot of open space. Help fill those spaces by becoming an observer https://t.co/hJP0obAs4Z #wywx

The latest Drought Update for the Intermountain West

[NIDIS Drought.gov @NOAADrought]

Drought Update for the Intermountain West (AZ, CO, NM, UT, WY)

Low Southwest snowpack is driving worsening drought. Outlooks favor warmer conditions for the whole region and drier for AZ and NM, which may increase wildfire risk.
