With all the rain we've had it's hard to believe there are other folks, close by, that could really use some rain.
The National Weather Service reports:
During the past month, generally less than 4 inches of precipitation has fallen from Houston County in southeast Minnesota and Allamakee County in northeast Iowa east to the Milwaukee area. Normally six to ten inches of precipitation falls during this time period. In addition to these precipitation deficits, temperatures have been averaging 2 to 3 degrees warmer than normal. This has allowed abnormally dry (D0) conditions to develop across this area. This dryness is currently affecting shallow rooted vegetation.
In the August 11th release of the U.S. Drought Monitor,abnormally dry (D0)conditions continue to exist across a small portion of southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa, the southern third of Wisconsin, the Minnesota Arrowhead, the western half of Upper Michigan, north central Lower Michigan, Michigan "Thumb Area", and along Lower Michigan's southern border.
