Drought conditions improved little across eastern Nebraska during January.  Precipitation during the month generally ranged from 1/4 inch or less in northeast Nebraska to nearly an inch across the southeast.  These amounts were near or a little above normal across the southeast but a little below average elsewhere.  Thus, Exceptional Drought conditions continued in northeast Nebraska near and northwest of a line from Columbus to Pender with the Drought intensity remaining in the Extreme category southeast of there from around Lincoln and Beatrice northeast through Omaha and Tekamah.  Conditions were slightly better southeast of Lincoln and Omaha, but they were still in the Severe category.  The drought persisted into February.
