The anomalously dry period that plagued the region during the summer of 2018 continued into and through July. Most areas were about 2 inches short of normal precipitation for the month of July. Most of northern Missouri, north of the Missouri River, came up between 4 and 5 inches short of normal. This combined with the dry June has caused the drought across the region to worsen.
