Extended Heat Wave With Drought Development Likely In At Least Part of the Ohio Valley

The latest US Monthly Drought Outlook is forecasting drought development over parts of the Ohio valley.

The 3-4 week outlook calls for a continuation of the hot, dry pattern over much of the country.

Please remember to water…correctly!

Water once per week, one inch per week, under the entire branch spread, in the absence of rain, May through November. Either rainfall or your watering should equal the one inch per week. Put out a sprinkler and a straight sided soup can or rain gauge and measure one inch per week.
