| episode_narrative | The 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 Carbondale was about a quarter of an inch, which is about 3.5 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 above normal. Burning bans were imposed across much of southern Illinois, including the counties of Jackson, Union, Alexander, Pulaski, Johnson, Pope, Saline, and Hardin. A rash of grass and brush fires occurred early in the month, keeping area fire departments busy. A controlled trash fire near West Salem, in Edwards County, got out of hand and burned down a storage shed and all of its contents. |
