Healthy rainfalls — possibly the most rain area residents have received in one event since late August — is in the forecast Friday.
The rain comes as drought conditions have stabilized across the KVOE listening area. Severe drought blankets most of the coverage area, including Lyon, Chase and Osage counties as well as most of Coffey County, southeast Morris County and southeast Wabaunsee County.
Severe drought also covers Greenwood County from Madison north to the Lyon and Chase county lines. Extreme drought now is between Kansas Highway 58 and US Highway 54, with exceptional drought — the worst on the US Drought Monitor scale — along and south of US-54.
