🌴 Hawaii experienced significant rain events. Kauai received 10 to 12 inches of rain; a second round of storms brought another 1 to 3 inches of precipitation over most of the islands—leading to improvements on all but the Big Island. bit.ly/USDM041624 #DroughtMonitor
▶️ Parts of the Midwest received rain, bringing improvements to Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and the Kentucky border. Western Missouri missed out on precipitation, further degrading already dry conditions (similar to Kansas and Oklahoma). bit.ly/USDM041624 #DroughtMonitor

💧 In the Southeast: rain cleared up lingering dryness along the Gulf Coast. However, eastern North Carolina and southern Florida missed out on this week's rain (adding to the 14 to 30-day deficit), so dryness expanded in those areas. drought.gov #DroughtMonitor

Heavy rain spread across eastern Iowa, NW Illinois, and parts of Wisconsin, improving drought conditions there. Southern Missouri and western Kentucky continued to miss out on precipitation and dryness/drought worsened in those areas. bit.ly/USDM040924 #DroughtMonitor
