Eight OK Counties Fall to "Abnormally Dry Conditions" - Will We See Our First Signs of Drought Soon?
Thu, 14 Feb 2019 15:09:42 CST
Despite some of the recent cold and wet weather, western Oklahoma is at the point of needing some moisture in order to avoid drought creeping back into the state. According to the latest report from State Climatologist Gary McManus, this portion of the state is already seeing Abnormally Dry conditions spreading from the Texas Panhandle.
There is some chances of this issue resolving itself with some distant potential for rains to reach at least part of the affected area in the future - though McManus notes cautiously that this is typically a dry time of the season for that area.
At present, just under 8 percent of the entire state of Oklahoma is under Abnormally Dry conditions, touching about eight western Oklahoma counties along the Texas line.
