The weekly update to the US Drought Monitor was just released and the entire state of Iowa is now covered by some analyzed drought classification. This marks the first time since 27 August 2013 that the entire state was covered, but 1 September 2020 was at 99.37% coverage (so insert something about lies, darned lies, and statistics). Anyway, it is no wonder that the drought situation continues to deteriorate as rain events have been sparse over the past number of weeks. The near term forecast continues to be extremely dry with near zero precipitation forecast over the next ten days.
