We have been doing pretty well with soil moisture this year in Ohio, but July is letting us down. Temperatures have been hot and rain has been spotty at best. The below soil moisture condition monitoring reports show that drought stress in plants and crops is increasing in many parts of Ohio. Rain is forecast, but not until this weekend. The last two weather systems have been big let downs. I am hopeful regarding rain for this weekend but I am not holding my breath.
24 hour rainfall ending Tuesday morning. Very spotty.
