The drought monitor report as of Tuesday, April 29th shows a little more improvement across the state. Our entire area is still in moderate drought. The only deterioration is in extreme Southwest Kansas. The six to ten-day outlook (May 6 to 10) indicates normal to leaning slightly above normal for temperatures and a 40 to 60% chance leaning above normal for precipitation. The eight to 14-day outlook (May 8 to 14) indicates a 33 to 40% chance of leaning above normal for temperatures and a 33 to 40% chance of leaning above normal for precipitation. Not a bad outlook for wheat, alfalfa and our summer row crops.
