Improvement In The Texas Drought

Most of Texas remains in a drought, but the rain from last Friday did help some.  Most areas that were in Extreme Drought (bright red) have now shifted back into Severe Drought (orange).

Below you can see on the statewide map how much of the red shading has disappeared.

Below are some of the numbers.  80% of the state remains in a drought, but the extreme drought dropped from 25% to 8%.
