Drought Worsening Dry Spell Next Week - Updated 5:45pm CDT

It looks like we are going to have a week of dry weather in the central Great Plains and western Midwest.

Update: NWS forecast rainfall for the next seven days. Their forecast agrees with ours. 

[resume original text] High pressure in the upper atmosphere is going to block any high pressure systems from approaching from the west. The remains of Helene combined with a low pressure area and it will sit around the Ohio Valley for the next few days causing showers. 
The drought map is from data collected through this past Tuesday and does not include any of the rain from Helene. The sluggish low pressure in the Ohio Valley will provide additional rain to ease the severe drought in Ohio and West Virginia. Unfortunately, farther west, the drought will deepen for at least another nine days (as far as I venture to forecast).
