(Ames, Iowa) – The latest Iowa Drought Monitor map was released this (Thursday) morning. It shows continued improvement in the drought conditions, statewide. Locally, much of Montgomery, Cass and Adair Counties remain “Abnormally Dry,” while nearly two-thirds of Madison County is Abnormally Dry. Across Interstate 80, most of Audubon County is experiencing the same conditions, while small parts of Guthrie and Dallas Counties range from Abnormally Dry to mostly Moderately Dry.

Severe Drought conditions continue to affect parts or all of 10 counties in central/north central Iowa. Across the Midwest, much of the southern and central portions of the Midwest received heavy precipitation, with a band of 2 to locally 4 inches measured from Iowa and northeast Missouri to southern Michigan and northwest Ohio. Areas to the south and north had 0.5 to 2.0 inches, except for a dry spot in southeast Minnesota to central Wisconsin and a dry swath in central Missouri. The northern half of Minnesota received no precipitation.
