Even though most areas saw some rain this past weekend, the extreme drought for portions of Northwest Wisconsin continues. While most areas remain unchanged from last weeks drought monitor, a narrow band of what used to be a severe drought is now a moderate drought. That is thanks to some impressive rainfalls in this area from August 7th/8th, when these areas received between 2 and 6 inches of rainfall.
The outlook for rain in the extreme drought area is not too great over the next day or two, but things look promising Saturday night and through Sunday as a system slowly treks across the area. Sunday is also our next best chance of seeing some strong to severe weather (per NWS Hazardous Weather Outlook), so stay tuned for that.
