Drought Remains Concern, In Spite of Recent Rains

Temperatures are falling, and we’ve had a few rounds of rain in recent days. Despite this, drought remains a high concern for many across both Arkansas and Missouri.

The latest information from the US Drought Monitor was validated through up to November 10th, showing large areas of concern for both Southern Missouri and most of Arkansas.

The area of concern in Missouri mostly lies in our listening area, with D3 extreme drought taking up a large portion of most counties, with D4, the maximum level of drought creeping into Ozark and Douglas Counties from the southwest.

In Arkansas much of the state is in D4 drought condition. However, opposite to Missouri, the counties in our listening area are faring the best of the state, with some places exhibiting D0 abnormally dry conditions at minimum.
