With the exception of Frankfort in May, every climate site in central Kentucky was drier than normal for each of the three months of spring this year, resulting in a season that was about 2 to 5 inches drier than normal. Parts of the Louisville metro and also southern Kentucky, especially around Edmonton and Greensburg, received less than 70% of the normal amount of precipitation for spring. Fortunately we had a wet winter that helped to bolster groundwater levels, but by the end of May signs of dryness were beginning to appear.
