U.S. Drought Monitor

Below is a map of the current drought conditions in the U.S.  If you visit the website at the bottom of the page, you can see animations of several weeks at a time and both short-term and long-term drought severity.  I think it is interesting to follow different patterns throughout the year - Hopefully we can get rid of some of the red on the map before spring!
