Drought Monitor Weekly Change

Above normal temperatures today and Wednesday before cooler weather and rain chances return late week. The highest rain chances (80-100%) occur Thursday into Friday.

Widespread rainfall is expected late Wednesday into Friday. Rainfall amounts are expected to be highest along and west of Interstate 49. There remains a considerable amount of uncertainty with amounts, especially south of Interstate 44 where little to no rainfall is possible if the lower end scenario occurs.

The latest Drought Monitor update from today shows continued expansion/worsening of the drought across a large portion of the area. Limited improvement occurred, even with rainfall a few days ago. While the extreme heat is over, widespread rainfall chances will remain low until the middle of next week.
