May started with a D3 drought over all of western and central North Dakota. Of the 36 NWS Bismarck forecast area counties, 34 were entirely in D3 with only the eastern parts of LaMoure and Dickey counties still in D2. By the middle of the month D4 drought designation was introduced into parts of the area between Bismarck and the Canadian border. By the end of May rains in the Dickinson area and parts of the James River Valley caused those areas to be reverted back to D2, at least parts of some counties. D4 continued between Bismarck and the Canadian border.
