This year so far has brought a reprieve from drought in many areas. Most notably, five-category improvements occurred in Louisiana northeast into central Tennessee. Despite these improvements, Louisiana recorded 36 drought impacts—second only to Texas for first-quarter impacts. To help you keep up with drought impacts, the NDMC’s State Impacts tool has a new look and features.
