BISMARCK, N. D. (KFYR) - Summer is approaching, which can be known for drought. Looking back about a month, 69% of the state was in some form of drought; 3.79% of the state was at a level four of five, or the red. With the high heat of the first week in May, the drought monitor worsened; 73.39% of the area was in some drought, while 5.96% was in an extreme drought. Then we received several inches of rain in mid-May, but there have only been minor improvements to the drought monitor.
