Recent Rains Ease Drought Conditions in Parts of Oklahoma
Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:15:48 CST
Last weekend's rains have been reflected in an improving U.S. Drought Monitor, says Gary McManus, Oklahoma's Associate State Climatologist. Eastern parts of the state have improved most, with some areas being upgraded from the extreme category to severe.
The rain and snow a few days ago won't be realized on the Drought Monitor map until next week, which should show more improvements.
More precipitation is forecast for next week. The amounts are not expected to be heavy, but every little bit helps. After that, there are indications of another major storm the following week. It's just now starting to show up on the latest 7-day rainfall map. Preliminary indications are for more moisture to fall in the eastern parts of the state.
