Precipitation Departure from Normal Past 90 Days
Much of the Ozarks is in a long-term dry condition.
Areas which are not as dry are closer to central Missouri and had the benefit of generous (or excessive) May rainfall. You can review those rain episodes here.
The bootheel and northeastern Arkansas are actually classified as being in a moderate drought and this includes Oregon County.
There doesn’t appear to be any wet patterns developing soon.
September is a month when rains come back a bit, at least according to the 30 year normal. In fact, it is our second wettest month in the 30 year normal table at 4.83″.
