Drought in Saline, Nebraska

Severe (D2) drought conditions covered around 8 percent of Saline County at the beginning of June, but conditions improved steadily throughout the month. Severe drought coverage was reduced to zero early in the month, and moderate (D1) drought was completely eliminated by mid-month as all drought classifications were removed by late June. The cooperative observer at Friend 3E recorded 4.33 inches of precipitation, 0.13 inches above average. The CoCoRaHS observers at Milford 5.9 SSE and Tobias 4.7 SSW recorded 3.94 and 3.32 inches of precipitation, respectively. These values were 0.60 and 1.30 inches below average.

Severe (D2) to exceptional (D4) drought conditions continued across portions of eastern Nebraska through the month of June.
