It appears a lot of Indiana's drought problems have been washed away.
The Indiana Climate Office says unseasonable warmth and rain this month has eliminated most of the state's remaining drought.
The U.S. drought monitor released last week show abnormally dry conditions that had persisted in central and southern Indiana have been erased.
Experts say moderate drought persists in a few northwestern counties, but about 3 inches of rain will return them to normal.
