Russell, Adair, and all of the Lake Cumberland area is now in a “moderate drought,” according to the most recent data released on Thursday from the U.S. Drought Index.
A swath of moderate drought is now showing up in Russell, Adair, Casey, Pulaski, Wayne and Taylor counties up through a portion of the Bluegrass Region in central Kentucky. The rain Wednesday was helpful but wasn’t enough to make changes to the current drought index.
