Unfortunately, the long-term forecast tools' indication of developing drought in the Great Plains turned out to be correct. I'm especially concerned about the winter wheat crop at this point.

Below is the official NWS precipitation amount forecast for the next seven days.

Here is the ECMWF model's precipitation amount forecast out to 15 days (via AccuWeather Pro).

I agree with these forecasts. So, at this point, there is no real relief in sight.
