The latest Drought Monitor was released today. It shows only slight decreases in drought over the last two weeks. Since temperature was so low for a lot of it and some rainfall (and snow flurries!) but not a lot, that is not surprising. Since quite a bit of rain fell since the data cutoff on Tuesday, I would expect to see some further reductions in drought in next week’s DM. You can always see historical patterns of drought at the Drought Monitor website https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/.
