The Palmer Drought index moved southwest Ohio into the moderate drought category this week, although this is an area-wide average and most of the Cincinnati metro area had good rainfall in the last week. In fact, Anderson Township has had in excess of 6 inches this month and my Cheviot 0.9 SSE location has had 4.17 inches.
