Florida got some rain over the weekend, but not enough to make much of a difference in the driest counties.

As of Monday morning, there are 55 wildfires in the state, down from 61 Friday, according to the Florida Forest Service.

But the average statewide drought index shot up Sunday, showing conditions around the state haven't improved much as the dry season continues to impact the state, especially Southwest and South Florida.
