Widespread and much needed rainfall fell across portions of eastern Oklahoma during March 2013. The exception was much of northeastern Oklahoma, where most locations received below half of the normal average precipitation for the month. Given the appreciable precipitation amounts that some of the area received in previous months, the additional rainfall that occurred this month helped to alleviate the long-term drought across some of the region. By the middle of the month, severe drought (D2) conditions had improved to moderate drought (D1) conditions over much of far eastern Oklahoma. Despite the improvement across some of the region, extreme drought (D3) conditions persisted across Creek, Osage, Pawnee, Washington, and Nowata Counties while severe drought (D2) conditions remained across Choctaw, Pushmataha, Pittsburg, McIntosh, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Muskogee, Wagoner, Tulsa, Mayes, Rogers, and Craig Counties. Monetary damage estimates as a result of the drought were not available.
