NORTH WEBSTER, IN (WTVB) – It’s been drier than normal over the last couple of months and it’s going to stay dry for the foreseeable future.
The National Weather Service office in northern Indiana says little or no rain is expected over the next week.
The latest report from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows Branch County and other southern Michigan counties are still considered abnormally dry.
But severe and moderate drought conditions are present in parts of northwest Ohio. Moderate drought conditions are also present in many Indiana counties.
Severe to moderate drought conditions are being reported in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Over the past week, only a few counties south of U.S. 24 recorded beneficial rain thanks in large part to the remnants of Hurricane Helene. Despite some periods of rain in late September, rainfall over the last 30 days is well below normal.
The M.S.U. Extension Service weather station at the Bloom Dairy Farm measured 1-point-3 inches of the rain in September. That total included 1.25 inches measured over the last 10 days of the month.
That location has only measured 2-point-32 inches of rain since August 6.
