Lowest drought now by state

Current drought severity.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

A weekly U.S. Drought Monitor observation, not a permanent county trait. The map shows the category covering the largest share of each county; the county profile retains the source’s cumulative D0–D4 area shares, so a small severe pocket is not hidden. The legend gives the observation date.
