What happened

The episode as NWS RLX wrote it up.

The drought continued to spread and strengthen in southeast Ohio. A deterioration in stream flow and soil moisture was noted. Some showers at the end of the month temporarily helped the top soil and the crops. Only 1 to 2 inches of rain fell in most areas during the entire month of June. Nelsonville observed the minimum, with just a half inch of rain. Temperatures peaked in the mid and upper 90s during the second week of the month. Beverly registered 98 degrees, while South Point had 97 degrees on the 10th.
