Last week we received roughly 2.54 inches of rain at the Muscle Shoals Airport, bringing our monthly total over 3 inches for August.  This is slightly above average, helping to reduce our rainfall deficit for the year to just above 14 inches. While half an inch of rain isn’t considered a drought buster, it looks like the month of August will be a month that the drought receded, if even a bit.

Almost every day this week has a chance of rain, with the greatest on Wednesday, so hopefully we can make a bit more headway.
