Drought persists, even with rain

ELDORA – Although the past week has been rather rainy, Iowa State Climatologist Justin Glisan says we are still in a drought.

“If we look at the current drought depiction D1 over most of northeastern Iowa from Cedar Rapids to central Iowa and Eldora, we’re in a moderate drought,” he said, adding the northeast corner of the state was the wettest, and the rest of the state is fairly dry.
