The latest update of the US Drought Monitor has all levels of drought eliminated from the state and the featured chart shows that the statewide precipitation departure for the past year is now positive! It has taken the wettest spring on record and a wet June to get us back to average for Iowa. The forecast for the first week of July looks to be mostly dry and rather cool. Of course, drought could start creeping back in the state with a dry July and August, but we shall see!
