After a period of very dry weather during May and Early June, Northeast Ohio started to see drought conditions. Slowly but surely, drought is improving.
After a very dry May and the start of June, the entire viewing area fell into drought. Little improvement was made when last week's drought monitor was issued on June 15. However, after receiving more rain over the last week, most notably on Thursday , we are starting to see drought improvements across portions of The Power of 5 viewing area. In fact, according to the US Drought Monitor, Ohio is the greatest beneficiary of the heavy rains this week across the Midwest.
The weekly update to the United States Drought Monitor was issued on Thursday morning, and there was a noticeable change to the map. Last week, 78% of the state was in moderate drought. Now only 32% of the state is experiencing moderate drought. That is a 45% change! You can see these changes easily on the maps below that compare this week to last week's drought monitor.
