Drought Update

The National Weather Service has released an update about the drought conditions in Missouri. After a hot summer, followed by a week of heavy rainfall, extreme drought conditions saw an improvement to Severe Drought conditions in southwestern and south-central Missouri. National Weather Service Meteorologist Gene Hatch explains more.

But what exactly will it take to get out of the drought completely?

Hatch says that since we are still in a drought, grass, and vegetation still remain dry, so avoid burning, and stay updated on weather conditions in your area. The next scheduled drought briefing is Thursday, August 18th.
