The U.S. Drought Monitor is a map released every Thursday, showing parts of the U.S. that are in a drought. The map uses five classifications: abnormally dry (D0), showing areas that may be going into or are coming out of a drought, and four levels of drought:
moderate (D1)
severe (D2)
extreme (D3)
exceptional (D4)
You will need to set the drop-down menus for Current Date, Area Type (State) and Area (Texas) to get the most current map.
