The featured map is courtesy of the US Drought Monitor website and shows the change in drought classification from last week to this week. Improvements were found over much of the upper Midwest, but we still have a ways to go. A large portion of NE Iowa remains under D3 (extreme drought) classification. There is a large storm forecast for early next week, but it remains to be seen how much of that rain will fall over Iowa as it looks to mostly pass south of the state.
