The National Drought Mitigation Center now offers two ways to get monthly drought summaries. One is a Drought Summary that describes the current drought situation across the US by the weather and climate data that describe shortages of water, and the other is a more story-based summary that provides an Impact Summary of the drought in different places across the US. You can access both of these summaries at https://drought.unl.edu/Publications/MonthlySummary.aspx.
