Drought Relief in Sight?

Weather forecasts predict a series of showers over the next day or so, stretching from the southwestern deserts all the way up to the Michigan.  This wide range of rainfall is much needed, though it is not reported to be a "drought buster."  The drought has been substantial this summer; current conditions show improvements with overall drought coverage dropping from 25% to 16% between last week and this week.  The situation for Wisconsin seems to be deteriorating.  The state has experienced a jump in "severe drought conditions," increasing from 36% to 52% since the prior week.  The rain will be nice to all those who miss it dearly, though it seems it will not be enough to break us from this drought.
