They provide up-to-date reports on the current drought situation for the Weather Forecast Offices' county warning and forecast area. These statements summarize recent weather and hydrologic conditions, discuss local drought impacts, and provide a local drought outlook. The statements are available on drought.gov and are archived as a collection of statements provided by all WFO's that issued Drought Information Statements during the past year. In the first year of the program the production of statements began after September 1, 2023. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded NCEI Accession 0293388 was revised and a new version of the archival package was published.
