Unfortunately, it appears that once again a weather system has teased us with only a small amount of rain, mostly inadequate to have much influence on the severe drought. 1/2 inch rainfall amounts Wednesday were the exception as opposed to the rule. It looks like a thin strip in Butler County may have gotten an inch. At my Cheviot 0.9 SSE location, I had only 0.15 inch, CVG reported 0.11, Lunken 0.06, and Hamilton-Fairfield 0.51.
