The drought monitor as of Tuesday, January 13th indicates marked improvement, especially in eastern Kansas.  Last week’s precipitation helped a great deal. 

The drought monitor as of Tuesday, January 6th indicates a little worsening but not much.  Our area, the western two thirds of state, are out of dry conditions.

The Shafer Art Gallery will host an opening reception for “Go Figure,” a new exhibition drawn entirely from the Barton Community College Foundation’s permanent collection highlighting artwork focused on the human form in a wide range of artistic expressions, from 4–6 p.m. Jan. 16 in the gallery and will include light refreshments.

This is being written before the weekly drought monitor is released but there is likely little change.  Our area, the western two thirds of state, are out of dry conditions.  The six-to ten-day outlook (January 3 to 7) indicates a 70 to 80% chance of likely above normal for temperatures and a 33 to 40% chance of leaning below normal for precipitation.
