The drought which began in May reached its most extreme stage by early August.  Through the month of August, all of southeast Missouri was in extreme to exceptional drought. The exceptional drought conditions were along and south of a line from Doniphan to Jackson. The remainder of southeast Missouri was in extreme drought conditions. Soil moisture deficits remained very high. Throughout August, 80 to 100 percent of the region's topsoil and subsoil moisture was reported as short or very short. Many crops were heavily damaged, and numerous counties were declared natural disaster areas. Corn crops were a partial or complete loss. Soybeans were faring somewhat better. The percentage of pastures rated as poor or very poor held steady from July. Some small trees and shrubs were killed. Ponds across the region were dry or drying quickly. Even with the isolated rainfall from thunderstorms, fire danger remained high. Bans on outdoor burning were in place for numerous counties in southeast Missouri. Streamflows were running normal to below normal. At the Cape Girardeau airport, 1.44 inches of rain fell in August, which was only about half of normal. Rainfall for the year-to-date was 14.27 inches, which was 16.58 inches below normal. The drought began in May and continued into September.

For the second consecutive month, rainfall totals during September were highly variable across these six counties, with limited areas benefiting from above normal amounts in excess of 2 inches, while most places again fell short of normal with totals closer to 1 inch or less. Given that the majority of the area remained firmly on the dry side, the overall drought impact tightened its grip during the month, plunging North Central Kansas even deeper into one of the worst droughts in several decades. As of the end of September, all six counties remained under a federally-designated drought disaster. According to weekly issuances of the U.S. Drought Monitor, the coverage of category D4 exceptional drought expanded across the area during the month, encompassing all of Phillips, Rooks and Osborne counties by month's end, along with sizeable chunks of Smith and Mitchell counties. Most of Jewell and northeast Mitchell counties remained void of the exceptional drought category, but were still covered by a mix of category D3 extreme and category D2 severe drought. Most of the September rain fell during the first week in association with thunderstorms on the 4th and 6th, and as a whole, Phillips and Smith counties were the driest of the six counties during the month. Some of the lowest September rainfall totals per NWS cooperative observers included 0.36 inches near Long Island, 0.41 at Smith Center and 0.62 near Burr Oak. The limited areas that measured near-to-above normal amounts included Cawker City (3.60), Jewell (2.51) and Covert in rural Osborne County (2.44).
Over the longer range five-month period from May through September, corresponding to the majority of the growing season, most of North Central Kansas only realized between 35-60 percent of normal rainfall. For the week ending September 23rd, the Kansas Weather and Crops Report from the USDA indicated that topsoil moisture across the north central district was 59 percent short to very short and subsoil moisture 82 percent short to very short. Across the state as a whole, range and pasture conditions were reportedly 83 percent poor to very poor, the worst since ratings began in 1995. Both the soybean and sorghum crops were indicated as 67 percent poor to very poor.
