Well, here we go... Texas is now back in a drought and this week North Texas entered the ranks again, resurrecting the bones of the previous drought that was in full force from May 2005 to January 2007. Disappointingly I just saw today's front slide through North Texas as a dry front, with barely a trickle for east Texas.
Also there's STILL no relief for the southern Appalachians and Piedmont area.
The CPC predictions have all of Texas and the Deep South in a higher than normal probability for continued below-normal precipitation. I wonder if we're looking at more duststorms for David Drummond and the rest of the people in West Texas in a few months. In any case, this will be BAD if it continues, since wintertime precipitation and especially snow events are a super-important source of soil moisture and for recharging the aquifers in the Great Plains (Ogallala, etc).
