As the heat rises, many areas across Minnesota are considered to be in severe drought conditions, including parts of the Lakeland viewing area.
All counties in the viewing area are in moderate drought, and of 11 of those counties, all or some parts of them are in severe drought, including Beltrami, Hubbard, Koochiching, Itasca, Cass, Wadena, Todd, Morrison, Crow Wing, Mille Lacs, and Aitkin counties.
Moderate drought means river and lake levels in those locations are lower than normal.
