At the start of December severe (D2) drought conditions covered most of West Tennessee. Below-normal rainfall and warmer-than-normal temperatures persisted during December. Conditions worsened to Extreme (D3) drought across much of the region by the end of the month. Lake and river levels continued to be at low levels as a result of the drought. Low levels on the Mississippi River were impacting barge and river traffic. Pastures were negatively impacted resulting in supplemental feeding and watering of livestock.
