Drought Levels Ease in Some Areas of Metro Louisville

Last night's storm and early morning rainfall produced impressive amounts around the Louisville area for most locations. Of course, that means some areas received only minor amounts.. my house included.

Here's a look at some amounts as collected by area rain gauges of the Metropolitan Sewer District thru 8:05 this morning...

Valley Station (my home rain gauge) 0.33"
PRP  0.79"
Shively  1.16"
Fairdale  1.34"
Jeffersontown  1.43"
Jefferson Mall Area 1.65"
Fern Creek FD  1.91"

At the Cedar Creek WQTC about 1-1.5 miles south of the SR 841 and US 31-E ramp, a mini-deluge of 2.55" was recorded so far.

Louisville Int'l official total thru 08:00am was 1.49".

Other areas that were part of the less fortunate group like myself include far southwest Jefferson county (4 miles southwest from my house as the crow flies) where amounts measured about 0.1".

For the most part, the dreaded DROME (dry dome) is still very much intact across my part of the county, just like it was during most of the winter, at least in comparison with other locations surrounding me.
