Moderate drought conditions expanded over the remainder of southern Illinois during the month of October. The drought worsened to severe levels in far southeast counties, primarily the Wabash River Valley. Soil moisture deficits increased to the point where 100 percent of topsoil in southeastern counties was rated short or very short on moisture. Due to high fire danger, outdoor burning was banned in several counties. At the Carbondale airport, only about three-quarters of an inch of rainfall was measured for the month. This was 2.16 inches below normal. Year-to-date rainfall deficits were close to ten inches. Crop harvests were completed in October, but final crop damage figures were not yet available.
