The latest depiction of the US Drought Monitor continues to depict abnormally dry conditions over much of southern Iowa. With today's tradition to adorn green, this area instead is shaded in tans and yellows. This is a good time of year to make up any long term deficits of rainfall as crop planting season is still a month or so away and a warm winter should have area soils receptive to absorb rainfall. The near term forecast is not very bullish on major rainfall events
