episode_narrativeThe unseasonably warm and dry fall allowed drought conditions to worsen. The Palmer Drought Index fell deeper into the moderate drought category during the month. Total rainfall for the month of November at Evansville was 0.51 inches, which is 3.22 inches below normal. Since the official growing season was over, crop damage was no longer a major concern. As a result of temperatures in the 70s, gusty winds, and low humidity, wildfire activity was well above normal. Upon receiving a recommendation from the governor of Indiana, most counties in Southwest Indiana banned outdoor burning. Two of the largest fires occurred in rural Warrick and Spencer Counties, east of Evansville. These fires were near Elberfeld in Warrick County and near Gentryville in Spencer County. The fire near Gentryville consumed about 100 acres and required assistance from Warrick County firefighters.
