| Episode Narrative | Extreme (D3) drought conditions returned by month's end to much of the Minnesota Arrowhead and to the southern portions of Cass, Crow Wing, and Aitkin counties. These areas, along with portions of southwest and central Minnesota, were declared federal disaster areas. Several locations reported record-setting drought conditions, including the Superior National Forest. Rainfall for the month generally ranged from 1 to 3 inches below normal across northeast Minnesota. Just 0.17 inches of rain fell at Hibbing, the lowest ever observed in August. The water level on Lake Superior fell to a record low for August, surpassing the previous record low set in 1926. River and stream flows were also well below normal. Burning bans and restrictions were implemented across most of region as soil moisture levels remained extremely low, resulting in a high fire threat. |
