MONTHLY SUMMARY	

June was warm, in fact tying 1957 and later 2005 for 4th warmest on record
with a mean temperature of 71.1 F.  There were no extremes, but temperatures
were consistently warm.  Meanwhile, some nasty thunderstorms clipped the area.
We escaped the worst of the storms, but heavy thunderstorms caused scattered
wind damage and flooding, most notably on the 11th and 24th.  These storms
pushed precipitation above normal again.
