October started with a small area of D4 designation in Golden Valley County, much of western and north central North Dakota in D3, and remaining areas in D2. At least some part of every county was in D2 or worse drought to start the month. The first half of the month saw notable precipitation over much of the area, which led to improvement in drought designation for most locations. The exception would be the far northwest, which continued to miss the heavier precipitation. Multiple counties over the south improved to either D1, D0, or no drought. By the end of the month, the only D3 areas were far northwest North Dakota, and the portion of Golden Valley County that started the month in D4. D2 designated drought continued mainly along and north of Interstate 94, and over the far southwest. Refer to the U.S. Drought Monitor for details.
