The Hardin County Extension Office reports that the rest of June is likely to be warmer than normal with high variability of rainfall but tendency to above normal rainfall.
It appears a heat dome will be centered in the south central U.S. this summer with periods where it shifts over the corn and soybean belt and Ohio Valley.
The next surge of heat will come this weekend into early next week. With these surges come a ring of fire of storms around the heat dome leading to locally heavy rainfall. However, that rain will be scattered.

Meet Willow (left) a 10-month-old Great Dane and Dozer, 3 years. They, and owner Hugh Phillips of Ada, attended the opening of the Ada Dog Park on Saturday. Great Danes are known as gentle giants and the personality of these two lived up to their reputation. Although there were numerous other dogs at the park at that time, Willow and Dozer romped and chased with all of the puppies, size didn’t matter. Willow is in training to be a PTSD service dog to help Hugh, who served three tours of duty during Desert Storm. (Monty Siekerman photo)
