Little Drought Left

Posted: 12 Oct 2018 05:35 AM

After a frustrating growing season of significant rainfalls consistently missing southeastern Iowa, the fall season has mostly made up the deficits in the area and the most recent US Drought Monitor analysis shows little drought left in the state. The featured chart displays the weekly Drought Monitor coverage over Iowa for the past two years. We are currently at the smallest coverage since late spring 2017. Pretty much the entire state is currently wishing for dry conditions now with the need to make fall harvest progress and allow flood waters to recede.
