After some rains in the eastern side of the drought areas, the next day, the forecast is not looking very good for more precip to help the drought. 

With the moderate La Nina persisting this Winter, odds are elevated for the drought to get worse.

There is a strong correlation between La Nina's and drought in the US.

El Nino's help protect us from droughts(bring more rains).

Liquid equivalent precip forecasts for the next 7 days are below.
