US Drought Monitor and Summary, July 18, 2017

Above-normal precipitation fell across southwestern Texas and southeastern Texas to southern Alabama, where rainfall amounts exceeded 2 inches. But most of Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas were drier than normal, with many stations reporting a tenth of an inch of rain or less. Changes (expansion or contraction) were made to the D0-D1 areas in Texas, and D0-D1 were expanded in parts of Oklahoma. Ovals of D2 were added to the Texas panhandle and western Oklahoma where the last 2-6 months have been dry and, as seen in Oklahoma mesonet station data, soils were parched. July 17 USDA reports indicated that conditions were poor to very poor across 15 percent of the pasture and rangeland in Texas and 6 percent in Oklahoma. Read more at droughtmonitor.unl.edu…
