Feds upgrade Olympic Peninsula drought conditions from moderate to 'severe'
Drought has arrived in a month we often nickname "Junuary," striking for the second time in five years one of the wettest places in the lower 48 states.
The drought classification for the Olympic Peninsula region has been upgraded from "moderate" to "severe" by the U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM).
"The drought outlook for the Olympic Peninsula just took another step in the wrong direction," said a state Department of Ecology analysis.
A severe drought classification, according to the USDM, contains impacts of crop and pasture damage, water shortages, and water restrictions.
