The latest U.S. Drought Monitor for Kansas, released today,  shows no change from one week ago.

Some sort of drought condition is present in 63.5 percent  of Kansas.

Nearly 47 percent of the state, western and central Kansas, is in severe or extreme drought conditions.  The rest of the state remains in either moderate drought or abnormally dry conditions.

The U.S. Drought Monitor, established in 1999, is a weekly map of drought conditions that is produced jointly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
