The extreme to exceptional drought, which had gripped a large portion of the region since May, finally was reduced during the first and middle portion of July. The drought lasted for only a few days before widespread rains began falling around the 3-4 of July. These rains lasted for nearly 2 weeks until the 21st. Rainfall was nearly a daily occurrence during this time frame with the entire forecast area seeing above normal rainfall for July. The area saw a range to 6 to 11 inches of rain for the month.
Due to the lingering effects of the drought, there were still some agricultural losses during the first few days of July, albeit much less than what occurred during the peak of the drought which occurred during June.
