Most of Texas is out of the woods drought-wise, thanks to some much-needed precipitation, according to the National Weather Service.
NWS meteorologist Jennifer Dunn said weeks of sporadic rain showers in late spring quelled severe drought conditions Bell County was experiencing.
âThe rain that we got in late May, early June, removed the drought from all of north and central Texas,â Dunn said. Weâve been enjoying a break; hopefully we can keep the drought conditions at bay even if those temperatures heat up a bit. Weâll see what happens.â
West Texas is the only area in the Lone Star State still experiencing moderate to severe drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
