Drought Update 9-27-12

The latest drought monitor isn't showing much promise for the Stateline.

Let's start with Illinois. While the state saw some improvement in the moderate drought department, it was all to our south. A good chunk of the Stateline continues to fall under the extreme drought category.

Wisconsin continues to see slightly worsening drought conditions.  The southern part of the state continues to suffer from extreme drought conditions. Extreme drought conditions are also starting to spread north.

The forecast is looking incredibly dry over the next week, with very slight rain chances on Monday. If this pattern holds up, we'll be looking at the longest timespan without any rain whatsoever this year.
