| Episode Narrative |
Despite little to no rainfall from the second full week of July to just before the end of the month, impacts from the heavy rains of early July manifest themselves in maintaining similar drought conditions as August began, likely a result of fairly typical temperature and humidity across the region for most of July. Drought ranged from Moderate (D1) to Severe (D2) in most of the Rio Grande Valley to Extreme (D3) in much of the Ranchlands from Starr and Zapata County north into portions of Jim Hogg and Brooks County. |
| Event Narrative |
Extreme (D3) Drought conditions continued across the northern one half of Brooks County and Severe (D2) Drought conditions prevailed across the southern one half of the county from August 1st through the 15th, with some increase in coverage of Extreme Drought sliding to the southeast after the 9th. |
