The featured map displays the combination of Weather Prediction Center seven day precipitation forecast and the latest US Drought Monitor (from Tuesday morning). The combination shows that not much precipitation is forecast to fall over the driest areas depicted on the map. Some portions of northeastern Iowa will likely see an improvement though in the analyzed drought condition issued next week as the heavy rains of this week in the area came after the weekly publishing deadline. The dryness so far hasn't been too impactful as temperatures have been rather cool. The forecast continues to advertise a return to summer-time heat once the calendar turns to June.
