Latest U.S. Drought Monitor Map Shows a Mostly Quiet And Dry Period The Past Week

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 15:02:00 CST

Latest U.S. Drought Monitor Map Shows a Mostly Quiet And Dry Period The Past Week Contrasting significantly with the past several weeks, much of the nation experienced a relatively dry week according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor map.

Almost the entire High Plains region, except for eastern North Dakota, had a quiet period.

The same story was repeated for the south, leading to further deterioration in drought conditions in southern and western Texas.

The Pacific Northwest region was about the only area receiving much precipitation the past 7 days.

Currently, more than one-third of the U.S. is drought-free.

For Oklahoma, extreme drought (D3) continues absent from Cimarron County in the northwest Oklahoma Panhandle. The D3 designation was removed from that area last week.

There is still a lingering patch of D3 hanging on in Hollis County in the southwest corner.

Statewide, approximately 67.61 percent of the state is drought free this week, about a one percent change from last week, which should be expected given the dry nature of the past few days.

Three months ago, the drought free coverage in Oklahoma was 36.91 percent.

The latest seasonal drought outlook, January through April, calls for developing drought in south central Kansas and western Oklahoma.

The outlook for next week calls for above average temperatures and precipitation for much of the state.
