Drought conditions during the month of February slightly worsened despite some modest moisture coming to the region during the middle of the month. Exceptional drought (D4) to extreme drought (D3) continued for most areas on the caprock and the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle. An expansion of D3 drought covered a portion of the western Rolling Plains and south-central Texas Panhandle. A historic arctic cold weather outbreak occurred from the 11th through the 19th of February which also brought some significant snowfall to the region. There was some benefit as some of this modest moisture melted and percolated into the upper soil layer. However, the persistent dryness over the previous seven to nine months has remained and actually resulted in a slight worsening of long term drought conditions.
