The latest U.S. Drought Monitor Report shows conditions have remained largely unchanged locally. Abnormally dry conditions remain along and north of Highway 92 in Marion and Warren Counties, with moderate drought near the Jasper/Marion County line.

Additional relief may be possible late this evening into Saturday morning as a cold front finishes pushing through the state. Rainfall amounts around 1/2″ will be common, with some locations seeing 1″ or more.
