According to the weekly Drought Monitor, 67 percent of Kentucky is abnormally dry. 26.26 percent is in at least a D1 drought. Burn bans have been issued in at least 50 counties in Kentucky.
Drought conditions forecast to persist through December 31 for portions of central and east Kentucky.
The July-September time frame could be the driest period since 1999 for Louisville. I'm projecting about an inch for the month of September, which would almost equal 5.00" for the period. The only other periods in Louisville's historical climate for July-September when precipitation amounts were under 5.00" were 1999, 1983, 1943, 1941, 1940, and 1930.

Salyersville Water Works...20
