The featured chart displays the areal coverage of the drought monitor categories for Iowa since 1 Jan 2012. This winter has seen some small improvements in the state, but we still have a long ways to go. The calendar is now March, so our ability to put larger dents in the long term precipitation deficits are increased. The most recent drought monitor did not include our large snowstorm on Tuesday, but most of the precipitation from the event was in the Eastern half of the state. The most severe drought categories remain over western Iowa.
