Still Waiting On The Rain…

We have been pretty dry as of late, that’s good and bad news for this time of the year. Good news, as all of the farmers are able to get out for several days in a row for the harvest, however, it’s also bad news, as we are now entering drought conditions for most of the area. Rainfall totals are well below-average, about 1.5″ below-normal in fact. This has allowed for most of the Weather First viewing area to slip into “moderate drought” conditions. And as we are going to wait another 5-6 days for any measurable rain, the drought conditions will likely worsen heading into next Thursday, when the newest drought monitor is released.
