Rain Relief or Drought Hangover

Rain’s been falling hard in Middle Tennessee—some spots soaked with seven inches—but Nashville’s still lagging five inches behind seasonal averages, meaning the drought’s not fully broken. While parts of the state saw 2-6 inches and even hit 400% of normal rainfall in the south, extreme drought persists near the Kentucky border and in pockets of West and Middle Tennessee. The Climate Prediction Center warns drought will linger through August, with only minor relief expected—East Tennessee especially still in the dry zone. Rain’s a welcome reprieve, but don’t count on a wet summer just yet. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
