US Drought Monitor and Summary, Aug. 29, 2017

Intense and long lasting rains from slow moving Hurricane Harvey caused extensive flooding to Houston and surrounding area. Precipitation amounts up to the Tuesday morning data cutoff exceeded 20 inches in many locations, including: Houston Weather Forecast Office (42.11 inches), Houston/Will Hobby Airport (26.68 inches), and Beaumont/Port Arthur (23.40 inches). These totals have increased since the data cut off period. For more up to date totals please visit the Weather Prediction Center’s Storm Summary page. D0 was removed from the area affected by Harvey, but in western Texas, D0 remained or was slightly expanded. In Oklahoma, D0 was reduced where recent rains have alleviated any negative impacts. Read more at droughtmonitor.unl.edu.
