December was another wet month for North Texas and drought conditions continued to improve. Most counties received 3-6 inches of rainfall throughout the month which helped many southern counties be downgraded into extreme drought (D3). However, the ground was still dry and absorbed much of the rain, and the water did not run into area lakes. Many municipalities continued water restrictions due to the low lake levels. By the end of the month, only 21 out of the 46 counties in the Fort Worth County Warning Area remained in severe drought (D2) or worse and only 3 counties had burn bans in effect.
