The latest information from the U.S. Drought Monitor still has the Lakes Region at various levels of drought.
The information was finalized Tuesday morning, before a heavy round of precipitation dumped over four inches of rain in some areas.
According to the current data, the area northeast of a Kimberling City- Branson-Harrison line remains at a Severe Drought Level while the rest of the region is either at a Moderate Level or Abnormally Dry.
The biggest impact from the recent rains has been river and stream levels that have seen a big jump upward in the last few days.
No rain and moderate temperatures are in the forecast for the next seven days.
