Severe (D2) to Extreme (D3) drought conditions continued across portions of East Texas through late August. This was in response to a flash drought that resulted from an exceptionally hot and dry month in June with well below normal rainfall in what is historically one of the wettest months on average. This was then followed by an even hotter and largely dry month in July. The total rainfall amounts were generally around an inch or less in June, which was only near 25% of normal. Near to slightly above normal rainfall returned in August, and while this did improve drought conditions across much of East Texas, moderate drought persisted across Red River County as well as the western sections of East Texas to end the month. This dryness contributed to lower than normal streamflow observed across area creeks, streams, and rivers before improving by late month.
