The featured graphic is courtesy of the excellent US Drought Monitor website. The weekly update was just released and all of the D1 drought classification has been removed from Iowa! This is the first Iowa has been free of D1 since summer of 2020. The remaining abnormally dry areas are denoting the very significant long term departures that accumulated last year. Needless to say, significant drought busting has occurred during April and May with precipitation totals at record high value for many parts of the state.
