Drought in Lincoln, Kansas

Severe drought (D2) just clipped the southwest corner of the county for a week. Under 0.2 of an inch of rain fell in the first 20 days of the month. A couple rounds of showers and storms moved through on the 26th bringing nearly 1.5 inches to that corner based on cooperative observer reports. The rest of the county was in moderate drought (D1).
