Drought intensified in the Northwest, the Plains, Mid-Atlantic, and the Northeast, and eased in Colorado, the South, Southeast and Maine. Drought covered 61.47% of the contiguous US, up 0.55 points from last week.

Dry conditions are so intense that they are keeping farmers from planting in some parts of the country.
