Drought continues across a large chunk of real estate. This has been a concern for quite some time now. Droughts tend to creep. Many of you have witnessed the extreme fire conditions over portions of Texas and Oklahoma on the different news outlets. I have been watching this drought slowly creep north and east over the last few months. This will need to be monitored as we move into the fall and winter months.
.
Here is the latest soil moisture anomalies map. Severe drought continues over Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and parts of Arkansas. The areas in green are moist regions - the areas in orange and yellow are in need of rain. The recent rains in our area have helped our cause to push back the drought to our south and west.

1. No big events in the near term forecast. Enjoy the fall like weather over the coming days.
We normally see an uptick during the fall months - will keep an eye. Don't forget that September is preparedness month. For more information on the different types of severe weather that can impact our region - click here.
.
Now is a GREAT time to buy a NOAA Weather Radio. Better to have one before storms strike than to be without one during an event.
