Drought Conditions Continue to Improve With Each Additional Rain

Drought Conditions Continue to Improve With Each Additional Rain




















Rainfall along the I-44 corridor brought more drought relief to the state last week. The improvements from east central through central Oklahoma leave 28 percent of the state without any sort of drought designation (11 percent with no designation, 17 percent with the "Abnormally Dry, D0" designation).


That still leaves 72 percent of the state within some level of drought intensity. Only 5 percent or so is in the "Exceptional, D4" category, the best that column has looked since July 31, 2012. Nearly 31 percent of the state is within the "Extreme/Exceptional" categories ... a level that has not been that low since July 17, 2012.


While some areas are dealing with overflowing lakes and ponds, the Panhandle is still dealing with very dry conditions.


There are chances for rain today as well as the middle of next week. The latest 7-day rain total forecast shows the same old story ... more for the east and paltry amounts for the west. But that could change!
