Although Bradley County and South Arkansas have received some rainfall over the past few days, the northern third of the County remains in what the National Weather Services considers abnormally dry conditions. Less than a tenth of an inch of precipitation has fallen across the upper half of Bradley County. An isolated area near Hermitage recorded close to a quarter of an inch over the last week, but the bulk of rain fell in the extreme southern sections of the County, near Pereogeethe Lake, Eagle Lake, and south of Johnsville.
Drought conditions still permeate a significant portion of Arkansas, with the the northwest section of the State feeling the brunt. Far southwest sections are also experiencing what’s called an exceptional drought, the highest rating from NOAA.
