Here is the July 17th updated drought monitor. Over half of Crawford County is in a "moderate" drought while some of the eastern portion is considered "abnormally dry". Either way, water should be conserved for those who have wells.
So how dry are we? In terms of precipitation, we are running well below normal. Currently Port Meadville Airport stands at 1.80 inches and the average for the month is 4.27 inches. June saw 3.15 inches while the average for the month was 4.14 inches. May and April were also below normal and the lack of snowfall this past winter has also hurt our region. Hopefully there will be some relief soon or else we might not have seen the worst of it yet.
