Oklahoma Drought Status Webinar: May 11, 2022
Drought in Oklahoma began in fall 2021 and has expanded and worsened during early 2022. The U.S. Drought Monitor shows over one-third (36%) of the state in Extreme (D3) Drought and nearly a tenth (9.4%) in Exceptional (D4) Drought. During this webinar, Gary McManus, the Oklahoma State Climatologist, and Victor Murphy, from the National Weather Service, talked about current drought conditions, the long-range forecast, and the impact recent precipitation had on drought conditions across the state.
