Rain Causes Targeted Improvements in Drought-Affected Areas
USAgNet - 12/02/2022
According to the latest Drought Monitor report of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this week saw areas of moderate to heavy rainfall along the central and western Gulf Coast region as well as areas further inland in the eastern half of Texas, southeastern
Oklahoma, and southwestern Arkansas. In these areas, targeted improvements were made in drought-affected areas.
Additionally, an outbreak of severe weather, including severe thunderstorms with tornadoes and wind damage, impacted areas of the South (Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama) overnight on Tuesday (Nov 29), resulting in severe damage and loss of lives
reported.
In the Midwest, areas of moderate drought expanded in southern Michigan and northern Illinois where short-term precipitation deficits are negatively impacting soil moisture and streamflow levels. In the High Plains, generally dry and warmer-than-normal
temperatures (2 to 10+ deg F above normal) prevailed across much of the region during the past week.
