Very slight improvement in long-term drought conditions occurred during the month of October. While the more active fall weather pattern resulted in more frontal passages in October, most locations still reported below normal precipitation for the month. The drought officially ended along and west of a Carbondale to Benton line. Severe drought conditions in the far south improved to moderate drought conditions. By the end of the month, all areas south of a line from Carbondale to Carmi were in moderate drought conditions. The main impact of the long-term drought was on farm ponds used for irrigating fields or raising livestock. Soil moisture was near normal. The soybean crop was harvested, but soybean crop loss estimates were not available yet. Some pastures remained in poor or very poor condition, but many of them improved to adequate condition. Streamflows were running about normal. At the Carbondale airport, October rainfall was 3.75 inches, which was just a tenth of an inch below normal. The drought began in May and continued into November in most areas.
