The latest map from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows the Lakes Region still in drought, but no increase in levels.
The map issued on Thursday still shows Arkansas as the most impacted area in the Lakes Region, as areas generally south and east of Harrison remain at an Extreme Level with early crops being impacted and water levels remain low. The rest of northern Arkansas is at a Moderate to Severe Drought Level.
Meanwhile, Missouri still shows less drought impacts, with the majority of the Lakes Region at a Moderate Level with areas of southeast Taney County around Protem into parts of western Ozark County staying Abnormally Dry.
After today's chance of rain, the next round of precipitation is expected in the Ozarks next Wednesday.
