What happened
The episode as NWS SGF wrote it up.
Drought conditions worsened across central, south central, and southwest Missouri in early August, and maintained its intensity through the month. The very abnormally high temperatures by the end of the month, averaging 6 to 12 degrees above normal, also accelerated the already dry conditions over the area. Although short-term dryness, slower crop growth, fire risk above average, and phase 1 and 2 drought conditions were introduced by the Missouri drought assessment committee, no significant losses were noted.
