Palmer Index Explained for Drought Measurement

Drought risk seen for much of U S in 1981
Government meteorologists at the Agricultural Outlook Conference warn that soil moisture reserves across much of the United States remain low and could produce severe drought again in 1981 if replenishment does not occur by spring. They note regional contrasts with better moisture in Montana and the Pacific Northwest and adequate moisture in parts of the Corn Belt, but caution deficits persist in Florida and the central Great Plains.
