Illinois Drought Continues to Worsen

It's been a common theme the last several weeks. Showers and storms here and there, but not enough to help with drought conditions.

The latest drought monitor released Thursday morning shows worsening conditions for Illinois. Extreme drought conditions continue to spread, with more than 80% of the state now under that classification.

Wisconsin continues to see little change in its drought conditions. About 10% of the state is under extreme drought, including the Wisconsin part of the Stateline.

After today's rain, the forecast shows few rain chances, with isolated rain chances on Monday the only shot at precip we have over the next seven days.
