Drought October 1, 2023 – October 31, 2023 · Adams, Wisconsin

What the National Weather Service wrote

Ongoing abnormally dry conditions, comprised of 14 consecutive weeks of at least severe drought (D2), eased slightly in Adams County through October. Multiple storms provided up to 3 inches above normal rainfall totals, slightly relieving the 6 inch rainfall deficit from initial severe drought (D2) issuance on June 27th to the start of October. As a result, severe drought (D2) retreated to the southern half of Adams County by the end of the month.

The wider storm

Long-standing abnormally dry conditions, comprised of 4 to 10 inches below normal rainfall totals from June through September, eased drought severity across parts of western Wisconsin through October. While above normal monthly rainfall resulted in near normal soil moisture values, a swath of severe drought (D2) persisted while the extreme drought (D3) retreated to far southwest Wisconsin.
