Drought conditions improved or ended over much of eastern Nebraska during April as precipitation of 3.5 to around 5 inches fell over most of the area.  These amounts were around 1 to over 2.5 inches above normal and coincided with below normal temperatures and reduced evaporation.  Thus no counties in eastern Nebraska maintained Exceptional Drought intensity with northeast Nebraska, along and northwest of a line from Columbus to Wayne, improving into the Extreme Category.  The rest of eastern Nebraska had improved to Severe or Moderate Intensities, with counties in the latter category generally south through east of Lincoln.  The drought in northeast Nebraska persisted into May.
