Recent expansion of D3–D4 conditions across the Southern and Central Plains, driven by persistent high-pressure systems and above-normal temperatures, represents the dominant factor shaping trader views on states reaching exceptional drought (D4) status for the week of August 25. The U.S. Drought Monitor map released August 20, valid through August 18, shows D4 covering 1.1% of the contiguous United States, concentrated in western and south-central regions, with the Northwest also deteriorating while parts of the East and Interior West saw localized improvement from recent rains. The next weekly update, expected around August 27 and reflecting conditions through late August, will incorporate the latest precipitation, soil moisture, and streamflow data from NOAA and USDA networks; any further degradation or relief from monsoon activity or frontal systems could shift the number of affected states.

Each USDM release covers the seven-day period ending Tuesday at 8:00 AM ET and is published the following Thursday.
Resolution is based on the first published US Drought Monitor release for the listed week. Subsequent revisions will not be considered; the first published release is final.
