The weekly update to the US Drought Monitor was released on Thursday and the impact of a wet June and now July has nearly eliminated all analyzed drought within Iowa. The featured chart presents a time series of weekly analyzed drought coverage since the start of 2023. We are pretty much back to the same situation we were in last July with the rapid removal of accumulated dryness. More precipitation is in the forecast along with a return of hotter temperatures by next week.
