Much of the state of California continues to suffer from exceptional drought conditions. In Texas, recent rains continue to help conditions improve. The exceptional drought conditions there are only affecting northern portions of Texas and into Oklahoma.

For Alabama, locations across the Tennessee Valley continue to be in the best shape with no drought conditions being reported, except in the northeastern corner of Jackson and DeKalb counties. Abnormally dry conditions are affecting 38.94% of the state this week, which is down from 42.60% of the state last week. Also last week, moderate drought was occurring in 3.05% of the state, this week, it decreased to 1.63% of the state. These conditions are south of the Interstate 10 corridor in Baldwin County.

The monitor was released on Thursday and with additional beneficial rains in the forecast tomorrow, we should see improving conditions by the release of next week’s monitor.
