S Illinois | Here is what he said.
“The central United States is at about a 60% drought risk. Some of the best weather forecast models we have out there are trying to put the epicenter of that drought somewhere between Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa and southern Minnesota by the time we get into July and August,” Snodgrass says. “When you think about those particular states, developing drought from spring to summer in any year is somewhere in the neighborhood of 28% to 38%. Essentially, the risk is doubled this year.”
Drought years as classified by meteorologists aren’t necessarily 2012 repeats or driest JJA on record. Years IIRC he has included are 2006, 2022 when considering years that he would classify as drought years. | |
