Drought Hangs on in Parts of Western Oklahoma in Latest Drought Monitor Report
Thu, 03 Oct 2019 12:07:58 CDT
Drought stats will drop next Thursday, based on the rains we have seen in the Panhandle, northwest and west central areas of Oklahoma- but it will likely hang on in the far southwestern counties for a little longer. The latest Drought Monitor released Thursday morning shows very little change from a week ago, although the last bit of Severe Drought in Oklahoma is confined to just Tillman County this week- making up one percent of the state's landmass.
The moderate/severe drought totals 11% of the state, with just over 25% of Oklahoma either abnormally dry or in drought this week- as it was last week as well.
Compared to a year ago, when drought was seen in just under nine percent of Oklahoma, there is not much change either.
