Recent U.S. Drought Monitor data valid August 18, 2026, and released August 20, show exceptional (D4) drought confined primarily to northeastern Oregon and far southern Idaho amid broader extreme drought across parts of the Northwest, northern Plains, and Intermountain West. Worsening conditions there stem from persistent heat, below-normal precipitation, and declining soil moisture, while the Eastern Seaboard and some central areas saw localized improvements. The market for the week of August 25 hinges on the next weekly USDM update, which incorporates the latest precipitation, temperature, and satellite observations; traders also monitor the NOAA Climate Prediction Center’s short-term outlooks and any rapid changes in Pacific Northwest monsoon or frontal activity that could alter D4 extent before the map’s data cutoff.
