| Episode Narrative | During November, drought conditions expanded southwest across South Texas. By the end of November, severe drought conditions existed across Bee, Goliad, Victoria, Refugio, Aransas, and San Patricio counties. Moderate drought existed across Calhoun, Live Oak, McMullen, La Salle, Nueces, northern Jim Wells and northern Duval counties by the end of November. Abnormally dry conditions were observed across Webb, Kleberg, southern Jim Wells and southern Duval counties. (per the U.S. Drought Monitor: http://www.drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor.html) The primary impacts of the drought during November continued to be agricultural in drought counties. Forage was becoming sparse and the supplemental feeding of hay to livestock continued. The fire danger threat also increased during November. In addition, reservoir levels continued a gradual fall. Rivers and creeks in the rainfall deficit areas continued a slow fall, and were below baseflow. |
