Event narrative

Severe (D2) Drought conditions improved by the middle of the month.

Wider weather episode

Localized areas of Severe (D2) Drought Conditions existed across north Mississippi. Several systems brought rainfall across this area and heavier banding and training storms were able to provide drought relief on the western side of north Mississippi. Areas near the Mississippi River recorded 8 to 12 inches of rain throughout the month. As a result, conditions improved to Moderate (D1) Drought and Abnormally Dry (D0). Unfortunately, areas to the east remained on the lighter end of rainfall amounts which resulted in a continuation of Severe Drought Conditions for the remainder of the month.
