The dividing line continues to be through northeastern Barry County in Missouri through northeast Carroll and southwest Boone County in Arkansas. Areas south and west of that line remain out of drought level while areas north and east, including both the Branson and Harrison areas, are Abnormally Dry to Moderate Drought Level.
