| Episode Narrative |
Persistent below normal precipitation allowed severe drought conditions to continue across portions of southeast Minnesota, including Houston and Fillmore Counties. With the continued lack of precipitation, the severe drought expanded to include Mower County. Affects of the drought include damaged crops, pastures that have stopped growing, river flows that were less than 20 percent of normal, falling ground water levels and high to extreme fire dangers resulting in burning bans. |
