What a difference a few miles make! Rainfall estimates so far this June show an impressive gradient from north to south across Marion County. 

 A small east to west swath in northern Marion County has only received about a quarter to half inch of rain this month.  Meanwhile, in the south, eight to 10 inches occurred in areas to the north and east of Peabody.   Most of the southern third of the county received at least five inches of rain so far this month. 

 The amounts are based on a combination of radar estimates and observed rainfall.
