Drought levels generally remained the same throughout the month of November despite the dry season being upon the region. Most counties remained anywhere between severe (D2) to exceptional (D4) drought conditions. Lamb County dropped from severe (D2) to moderate (D1) conditions.
Temperatures in November saw a reversal from previous months and were below averages by several degrees. Lubbock's monthly average was 1.3 degrees below normal while Childress was 2.3 degrees below normal. Temperatures remained below freezing for 80 continuous hours or more for many locations on the South Plains. This was mainly due to a significant winter storm that affected the region from the 22nd through 24th. This winter storm resulted in a large swath of sleet, freezing rain, and snow. Areas across the southwestern Texas panhandle into the northwestern South Plains saw the highest snowfall totals. A maximum of 10.5 inches was reported at Happy (Swisher County). Between one tenth and three tenths of an inch of ice was reported from the southern South Plains through the Southern Rolling Plains. Similar to drought levels, Keetch-Byram Drought Index values were nearly unchanged. Values between 400 and 500 were observed on the South Plains with 500 to 600 over the Rolling Plains.
All locations across the South Plains and Rolling Plains have now experienced a killing frost. No significant wildfires were reported despite most vegetation in a dormant state. Harvesting was nearly complete with estimates of nearly a 30% reduction of crops from the 10-year average.
Economic losses due to drought through November since the drought began were estimated near $3.0 billion.
