Drought

I remember when last summer many in Missouri were hoping and praying for rain as much of the state was enduring a drought. This summer it's a totally different story as some parts of the state were just drenched with 8 inches of rain according to meteorologists.

The good news is we didn't have a lot of snow in Missouri and Illinois this winter. The bad news (for farmers) is we didn't get a lot of snow in Missouri or Illinois this winter. That lack of moisture appears about to change as forecasters are saying both states will likely get drenched with badly needed rain near the end of this week.

You can leave a lot behind and start fresh in 2024, but for the Show-Me State of Missouri, sadly, this historic drought will carry into 2024 and not stay in 2023...

It's no secret that most of Missouri has been suffering through a horrible drought for the past several years, but how much rainfall would it take for the state to be back to average? The actual number is truly staggering.

I hadn't thought about it until today, but we haven't seen much rain in November. Many parts of Missouri haven't received anything truly measurable. Has Missouri ever gone an entire month without rain? History says...almost.

It appears that parts of Missouri that are desperately in need of moisture will get rain later this week. The only question is how much and will it help the state's dire drought conditions. It looks like there's at least some hope of helpful rain coming.

Snow is annoying and frustrating to deal with, but if you live in Missouri you should be hoping for A LOT of it this year, but why? Here are the details on why the Governor of Missouri says he hopes snow is in the forecast...

Parts of Missouri especially in the central parts of the state were already suffering from extreme drought conditions, but now that's expanded to the northeast officially according to meteorologists at the National Weather Service in St. Louis.

We live in an era of extremes. While parts of Missouri and Illinois are flooding, others remain parched. It's so bad in the middle of Missouri that a new forecast now says the middle of the Show Me State can expect "extreme drought".

The good news? It was a mild winter for many parts of Missouri. The bad news? Drought conditions now reported in both Marion and Ralls County according to new government data.
