This week s U.S. Drought Monitor map, published Thursday, shows conditions unchanged from the previous week a little under 18% of North Dakota in exceptional drought, the worst of four categories. Extreme drought covers 59% of the state, and all of the state except for the extreme southeastern corner remains in some form of drought.
