WATERTOWN, S.D. (KWAT)–Plentiful rain over the past week has taken parts of South Dakota out of drought conditions.
The South Dakota Drought Monitor, updated weekly, shows parts of 14 counties are no longer in drought conditions.
Those counties are Corson, Campbell, Perkins, Meade, McPherson, Ziebach, Faulk, Hyde, Sully, Hughes, Lyman, Tripp, Davison and Hanson.
Only tiny portions of the state are in D-3, or extreme drought conditions. They’re in the southwest corner of the state, in Fall River and Oglala Lakota counties.
The map show conditions as of Tuesday but was not released on Thursday.
Since Tuesday, the city of Aberdeen received almost two inches since then.
