4/2/22 – Great news recently from the US National Weather Service Duluth! According to one of their recent Facebook posts:

The latest drought monitor shows improving drought conditions across both MN and WI. The last 90 days of above normal precipitation has had a positive impact on our drought status. See the latest drought monitor for more info: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap.aspx

I highly recommend poking around on the drought monitor website linked above. They have lots of interactive maps to play around with. Below are a couple I found that highlight the progress that’s been made when contrasting late August 2021 through the end of March 2022. -Jessica
