Drought Expands in Northwest Indiana

Drought continues to intensify and expand in the Region and the state. The latest USDA Drought Monitor shows most of Northwest Indiana as Abnormally Dry, the lowest level on the dryness scale, and southern Jasper and most of Starke and Pulaski counties in Moderate Drought, the very next level. The map also shows most of Indiana in Moderate Drought, with an area of Severe Drought, one level higher, in central Indiana near the Ohio border. Here is a link to see the past two weeks.
