As of the last report (Jun 28 2012), nearly all of Kentucky fell into some sort of drought classification. Only parts of 6 counties were reporting no drought as of last week's date...
Western KY was reporting extreme drought. Paducah has only received 1.85" since April 1 2012. Yes, parts of 21 counties of western Kentucky were undergoing extreme drought.
After last week's heat ridge moved in, it will be interesting to find out how much of the state is responding to the worsening drought.
The next drought report will be due out this Thursday.
