After a very dry December of 2010, portions of Northeast Texas saw surplus rainfall for the first month of 2011.  While the surplus rainfall was something this region had not seen in a while, it still did very little to quench the drought that was ongoing across the region when the year began. Much of the region remained in D2 Severe Drought and D3 Extreme Drought categories through the end of January. Once again, many counties saw burn bans throughout the month as the fire danger was very high across the region. The following are a few selected cities across Northeast Texas with their monthly rainfall totals and departures from normal for the month of January.
Tyler monthly rainfall was 4.12. The departure from normal was 0.78.
Longview monthly rainfall was 4.96. The departure from normal was 0.90.
Lufkin monthly rainfall was 7.14. The departure from normal was 2.69.
