Extreme (D3) Drought conditions expanded across portions central Missouri through the end of June. Very limited rainfall allowed drought conditions to worsen over most of central Missouri into west central and southwestern Missouri during the month. Across central Missouri Extreme (D3) drought was expanded south as rainfall of only a quarter to a tenth of normal for the month fell. Severe (D2) Drought persisted and expanded as well in response to the lack of rainfall with Moderate (D1) to Abnormally Dry (D0) conditions expanding as well around the Extreme and Severe Drought areas. The primary impacts of the drought occurred in the agricultural communities. Hay growth was impacted along with reports of crop and vegetation impacts due to limited soil and surface moisture, dry stock ponds and low flows on some streams and rivers. Final reports of damages will be placed in the last month the drought occurred in the counties impacted in 2023.
