Although two storm systems moved through the region, bringing with it beneficial rainfall, D2 to D3 drought steadily moved north and west through Oklahoma. D4 drought also developed over a few counties of southwest Oklahoma. This all stems from the very dry conditions seen over the region since the beginning of October 2010. In fact, this is the 3rd driest period statewide since October 1. Agricultural impacts were severe, as most the winter wheat crop was non-existent, as well as losses to other crops. The dry conditions also gave rise to enhanced fire weather concerns, with the normal increase in wind speeds during the spring months.
