Still in need of a lot more rain to end the drought

So, how much rain do we need to get out of this drought? Well Ethan it has storm at my place several times recently so is the drought over? While the rain we’ve had is better than nothing, to completely wipe out the drought in a month, most of the state would need over 10 inches of rain. Numbers are higher when you spread it out over 2 plus months. It is highly unlikely this would happen in a month at this point.



I used the latest rainfall data to create this map. It is not exact, as there have been some misses or misses storms; some areas are doing better than others. So any storms/ rain we get this weekend, we will take!
