The dry area in north central and northeastern Indiana is spreading southward to Kokomo and Marion, and the dry conditions of southwestern Indiana are working their way northeast, to Bloomfield and French Lick.
Evansville is on the edge of a “Moderate Drought” that worsens as you head south into Kentucky. Mister Weatherman hopes the bourbon crop still comes in ok.
