Drought Information
Much of North and Central Texas, especially west of the I-35 corridor, remains in a precipitation deficit so far this spring. With increasing odds for below normal precipitation through at least July, the likelihood that existing drought areas will persist or intensify into the drier summer months is increasing.
Current Drought Conditions
Fire Danger
With winter dormancy ongoing, any extended period without precipitation could reignite wildfire concerns. The days with the greatest potential for fire initiation and spread are those that are sunny and warm with low humidity and breezy winds. This potential will diminish with the onset of the spring growing season.
Even if a formal burn ban is not in effect for your area, it is still important to be vigilant about fire usage. Avoid open flames near dry vegetation, and assure all coals and embers are fully extinguished.
