Some rainfall events occurred during May, but with a heavy bias toward central Oklahoma near the I-35 corridor, where drought conditions continued to improve. Drought was eliminated for the first time since June 2012 in and around the Oklahoma City metro area, extending southeast toward Ada and Atoka. However, extreme to exceptional drought persisted over much of western Oklahoma, including some worsening along the border with the Texas Panhandle.
