Texas Drought Update:



* Just wanted to point out that the new data from the US Drought Monitor was released recently and conditions are worsening across West Central Texas.

* The Big Country region (roughly north of Interstate 20) is now all placed under Drought Stage 1 - Moderate conditions. Conditions worsen across the Northern Concho Valley and the Heartland as those areas of West Central Texas are now under Drought Stage 2 - Severe conditons.

* Other than the chance for rain late Sunday and early Monday, the pattern over the next week and a half looks to remain dry and above normal on temperatures.
