Rain Falls Benefit Farmers in Southern Idaho
A slow rain in southern Idaho offered relief after the hottest and driest May on record in Pocatello. By noon, more than 0.30 inch had fallen, mixing snow at times, with forecasts calling for slightly cloudy conditions and cooler temperatures. Farmers praised even a small shower though some said it came too late for maximum impact. wheat yields may gain a few bushels per acre, and overall crop prospects improved as temperatures cooled from 41. The May mean reached 63.3 degrees, the warmest on record, with May 22 at 88 degrees.
