For the first time in over two months, parts of the Lakes Region are officially out of drought conditions thanks to continuing rainfall over the last week.
The latest report from the U.S. Drought Monitor indicates that northern Stone, Taney, and Ozark Counties along with several other areas of southern Missouri have seen water levels and crop conditions improve to the point that those areas are no longer classified at a drought level.
The southern parts of those counties and most of Barry County including Lake Taneycomo as well as Table Rock and Bull Shoals Lakes are at an Abnormally Dry Level which is the lowest level on the Drought Scale.
The highest level of drought in the Lakes Region is in Arkansas with most of Carroll, Boone, and Marion Counties in a Moderate Drought Level which is down a level from last week, with the rest of the region Abnormally Dry.
