Thu, 22 Aug 2019 12:15:57 CDT
As Oklahoma's flash drought continues to intensify across the state, especially across the western and central portions of the state, rainfall today and through the weekend and even into next week, is expected to help alleviate some of that pressure.
Presently, 11.87% of the state is in "Severe" drought, up roughly 5% from the previous week and the highest amount seen in Oklahoma since September 4th of last year. Meanwhile, a quarter of the state is under "Moderate" drought and approximately 50% categorized as "Abnormally Dry."
