I
wanted to remind you of a couple of TV items for

Drought
Retreating in Oklahoma- Only 15% in Exceptional
Drought.
The latest US
Drought Monitor was released on Thanksgiving
morning- and we have the graphic that shows the
really good news for Oklahoma that for the time
being- drought conditions are falling back to a
much smaller part of the state.
For
the first time in forever it seems- five percent
of the state is outside of any drought rating-
while we are down to 15% of Oklahoma in D4- or
exceptional drought. As you might suspect-
that lies in far northwestern Oklahoma and the
Panhandle.

website for a chance to see the state drought
map based on this week's data.
