Drought conditions look slightly better statewide on the Iowa Drought Monitor map this week.
Most of Buena Vista County continues to be Abnormally Dry. Moderate Drought is showing up in portions of some northwest Iowa counties including a small amount of Buena Vista, and larger parts of Clay, Cherokee, and O’Brien.
Over 21 percent of the state has no drought designation, an improvement of less than half a percent from last week. Over 29 percent of the state has Moderate Drought, nearly four percent less than last week. There still isn’t any Severe Drought in Iowa.
