Rains didn't change much here
HERALD-LEADER STAFF REPORT
Despite rains that soaked some areas last week, Lexington and the Bluegrass remained in severe drought in the weekly Palmer Drought Severity Index, which was released yesterday.
Western Kentucky improved from severe to moderate drought. The central region, which includes Louisville, also is in moderate drought. Eastern Kentucky is in severe drought.
The Bluegrass region needs more than 6.8 inches of rainfall above the normal amount to get out of the drought.
