Moderate to severe drought conditions persisted over southern Illinois until widespread heavy rainfall on the 24th and 25th. The severe drought was confined to far southeast counties, primarily the Wabash River Valley. Topsoil moisture in southeastern counties was rated short or very short. Wildfire danger became very high as live forest fuels became dormant due to frost and freezing temperatures. Many watering holes and ponds dried up, and lake levels were very low. Water levels on Rend Lake were low enough to cause a hazard to boaters. Crop harvests were completed in October, but final crop damage figures were not yet available.
