There have been several storm systems that have impacted the region in the last half of January. Most of the precipitation from these systems has fallen along and southeast of a Kansas City to Kirksville line. This has resulted in some improvement to the drought across portions of central to northern and northeastern Missouri. However, western and far northwestern Missouri remain in a severe drought (D2).
