NE Rain, the Nebraska Rainfall Assessment and Information Network, is reporting zero precipitation in some places of southeast Nebraska for January and a high of .04 inches near Nebraska City.
The average January precipitation at Lincoln over the past 30 years is .67 inches. January and February are traditionally the region's driest months.
Precipitation from October through January is 4.87 inches, compared to a normal over the four months of 5.53 inches.
The January edition of "Droughtscape" reports higher than normal temperatures in Nebraska from October through January.
The National Drought Mitigation Center lists Otoe County as abnormally dry and has a sliver of Nebraska reaching up into Wisconsin with a moderate drought.
The center reported an "exceptional drought" in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas in September. The drought was the worst ever in Texas in regards to percentage of the state covered.
Droughtscape reported that the situation has eased because it was the end of the growing season when the drought moved into the northern states.
