DES MOINES, Iowa—There was very little change in the new Drought Monitor Map for Iowa this week compared to last week. The most serious conditions remain in north central and eastern Iowa. Locally, there was very little change in Boone County where the majority of the county is considered to be in Moderate Drought Condition. The balance is considered in Severe Drought Condition. The forecast rain will have an impact in those conditions, but won’t be considered until next week.
