Following the driest spring on record in east Tennessee (only 5.67" of rain for this spring, including only 0.76" for all of May!), these dry fields near the Tri-Cities Airport in Sullivan County could use a good rain. While much of the area received a soaking yesterday, the airport reported only about a quarter of an inch of rain. So it comes as no surprise that the drought monitor has most of our region listed as being in a "severe drought."
