The latest US Drought Monitor Map of Iowa shows minimal abnormally dry and moderate drought conditions still persist in the southern corners of the state.  Just over 2% of the state is in moderate drought which is down from just over 3.5% last week.

The rains last week knocked the abnormally dry conditions down from 36.6% down to 9.7%. About 88% of the state is showing no drought conditions. Just 3 months ago, nearly 86% of the state was in abnormally dry conditions
