Much of Springfield has entered abnormally dry conditions according to the weekly drought monitor update from USDA. The monitor indicates that as of Tuesday, a majority of Greene County had entered pre-drought status, along with a portion of western Douglas County. It’s a trade-off for the Lake of the Ozarks region exiting abnormally dry stage, along with most of Shannon County. 6.3 percent of Missouri is in pre-drought condition, with no part of the state in moderate or worse drought.
