Long Term Weather Forecast Calling For Dry Fall Season

Severe drought is a term central Illinois hasn't heard in a long time but the National Weather Service in Lincoln says by the later fall days, that could a term heard a lot.
 
Chris Miller with the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates there could be areas of Illinois that reach 'severe drought' later this fall if we don't get some rain, which he's not expecting.
 
 
With tropical storms popping up frequently this year, Miller says those are holding off some moisture from getting to the area. He notes Tropical Storm Maria is keeping a cold front from getting to the area.
 
 
Miller says the recent hot stretch was good for the farmers to get their fields dried out and the continued dry stretch will allow for a smooth harvest but long term it could be troublesome.
