The Midwest Climate Watch is a resource for current climate information for the Midwestern region of the United States, produced by the Midwestern Regional Climate Center (MRCC). Resources include maps/images, reports, and regional drought, agriculture and horticulture information and tools.

MRCC produces maps showing the number of days that certain stations in the Midwest region have gone without precipitation.

The Midwestern Regional Climate Center produces maps showing evapotranspiration and water balance for certain stations in the Midwest region at 1-day, 7-day, 14-day, 30-day, and 60-day intervals.

These experimental drought blends integrate several key drought monitoring products and indices into a single short-term or long-term product, based on the methodology developed at the NOAA Climate Prediction Center (CPC). These Drought.gov blends are created using the Climate Engine tool, and apply weighting ratios similar to the ratios used by CPC to the high-resolution gridMET gridded dataset. The data is updated daily, with a delay of 2 to 3 days to allow for data collection and quality control.
