Extreme drought covers all but a handful of counties in\nthe Tri State area, extending from northeast Colorado into all of\nsouthwest Nebraska and most of northwest Kansas. Agricultural\nimpacts continue with topsoil and subsoil moisture supplies rated\nshort to very short in 40 to 50 percent of reporting counties and\nwinter wheat rated poor to very poor in about 30 percent of\nreporting counties. Wildfires also continue to be a concern on dry\nand windy days.\n\nThe latest drought monitor was issued on March 4, 2021.\n\nDrought intensity is rated on a scale from D0 (abnormally dry) to\nD4 (exceptional).\n\nEXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT (D4) was occurring in the following counties:\nNone.\n\nEXTREME DROUGHT (D3) was occurring in the following counties:\n\nIn northeast Colorado: Kit Carson,Cheyenne.\n\nIn northwest Kansas:\nDecatur,Norton,Greeley,Thomas,Cheyenne,Wallace,Rawlins,Sherman.\n\nIn southwest Nebraska: Dundy,Red Willow,Hitchcock.\n\nSEVERE DROUGHT (D2) was occurring in the following counties:\n\nIn northeast Colorado: Yuma.\n\nIn northwest Kansas: Sheridan,Logan,Wichita.\n\nMODERATE DROUGHT (D1) was occurring in the following counties:\n\nIn northwest Kansas: Gove,Graham.\n\nABNORMALLY DRY (D0) was occurring in the following counties:\n\nNone.\n\nFIRE DANGER...\n\nAbove normal. Fuels are dry as a result of dry winter fuels and\ndrought conditions. Fire danger will continue to be a concern on\nwindy days with low relative humidity.\n\nAGRICULTURAL...\n\nTopsoil and subsoil moisture supplies continue to be impacted, as\ndoes winter wheat condition.\n\n.PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURE OUTLOOKS...\n\nThe latest monthly outlook issued by the Climate Prediction Center\nfor March 2021, shows above normal temperatures and below normal\nprecipitation chances.\n\nThe latest three month outlook issued by the Climate Prediction\nCenter for the months of March 2021 through May 2021, shows above\nnormal temperatures and below normal precipitation.\n\n.SEASONAL DROUGHT OUTLOOK...\n\nThe current seasonal drought outlook is valid for February 18,\n2021, through May 31, 2021...\n\nDrought is forecast to persist across the entire area.\n\n.NEXT ISSUANCE DATE:\n\nThis product will be updated by the 5th of each month as long as\ndrought persists across the area.\n\n.RELATED WEB SITES:\n\nAdditional information on current drought conditions may be found\nat the following web addresses:\nUS Drought Monitor: https:\/\/droughtmonitor.unl.edu\nUS Drought Information System: https:\/\/www.drought.gov\nNOAA Drought Page: https:\/\/www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov\/products\/Drought\nHigh Plains Regional Climate Center: http:\/\/www.hprcc.unl.edu\n\nClimate Prediction Center: http:\/\/www.cpc.noaa.gov\n\nDrought Outlook:\nhttp:\/\/www.cpc.noaa.gov\/products\/expert_assessment\/\nsdo_summary.php\n\nKansas Crop Weather:\nhttp:\/\/www.nass.usda.gov\/statistics_by_state\/kansas\/publications\/\ncrop_progress_and_condition\/index.php\n\nAdditional water and river information:\nNWS: https:\/\/water.weather.gov\nOWP: https:\/\/water.noaa.gov\nUS Geological Survey (USGS): https:\/\/water.usgs.gov\nUS Army Corps of Engineers (USACE): https:\/\/www.usace.army.mil\n\n.ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:\n\nThe US Drought Monitor is produced through a partnership between\nthe National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of\nNebraska-Lincoln, the United States Department of Agriculture and\nthe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\n\n.CONTACT INFORMATION:\n\nIf you have questions or comments about this Drought Information\nStatement, please contact:\n\nNational Weather Service\n920 Armory Road\nGoodland KS 67735\nPhone...785-899-2360\n\n$$","53":"No drought statement available for this WFO.","105":"No drought statement available for this WFO.","114":"000\nAXUS73 KTOP 020851\nDGTTOP\nKSC003-013-027-029-031-041-045-059-061-085-087-111-117-127-131-\n139-143-149-157-161-177-197-201-090900-\n\nDrought Information Statement\nNational Weather Service Topeka KS\n251 AM CST Tue Feb 2 2021\n\n...WET JANUARY RELIEVES SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS...\n\nSYNOPSIS...\n\nThe U.S. Drought Monitor is available online at\nhttp:\/\/www.droughtmonitor.unl.edu\/.  It is a collaborative effort\nbetween several government and academic partners.  The U.S.\nDrought Monitor is issued each Thursday morning and takes into\naccount hydro-meteorological data through 7 AM Tuesday.  There\nare four levels of drought: D1 (Moderate), D2 (Severe), D3\n(Extreme), and D4 (Exceptional).\n\nThe latest U.S. Drought Monitor, issued Thursday, January 28,\nincludes D1 along and north of a line from southeastern Dickinson\ncounty northeast to southern Pottawatomie county then southeast to\nnorthwestern Douglas county.\n\nA few storm systems in January provided above normal precipitation\nfor the area and brought further decreases in drought conditions.\n\nIn an Exceptional Drought (D4), exceptional and widespread crop\nand pasture losses result. An exceptional fire danger exists, and\nshortages of water in reservoirs, streams, and wells occur causing\nwater emergencies.\n\nIn an Extreme Drought (D3), major crop and pasture losses are\nlikely.  An extreme fire danger exists, and widespread water\nshortages and restrictions are possible.\n\nIn a Severe Drought (D2), crop and pasture losses are high, a\nvery high fire danger exists, and water restrictions may be\nrequired with water shortages common.\n\nIn a Moderate Drought (D1), some damage to crops and pasture is\npossible.  A high fire danger exists.  Some water shortages\ndevelop or are imminent, and voluntary water use restrictions may\nbe requested.\n\nSUMMARY OF IMPACTS...\n\nState and Location Mitigation Actions.\nNone are known.\n\nSoil Moisture.\nAccording to the Climate Prediction Center, soil moisture was one\nto two inches below normal. The Kansas Agricultural Statistics\nService reports topsoil moisture supplies 50 to 60 percent short\nor very short across Kansas.\n\nAgricultural Impacts.\nThe following ratings pertain to statewide crop conditions. The\nKansas Agricultural Statistics Service reports the condition of\nthe wheat crop was 10 to 20 percent poor to very poor.\n\nWater Restrictions.\nNo known water conservation plans or restrictions have been\nenacted in the local area.\n\nCLIMATE SUMMARY...\n\nGenerally above normal precipitation has fallen in recent months.\nPrecipitation amounts of one half to around one inch were common\nfrom multiple systems. This precipitation has further reduced\ndrought conditions.\n\nPrecipitation totals in inches for August 1 2020 through January\n31 2021...\n\n                                 Departure    Percent\nNorth Central Kansas...

For February\nthrough April, there is a slightly greater than equal chance for\ntemperatures to be above normal and precipitation to be below\nnormal. The U.S. Monthly Drought Outlook indicates drought\nconditions are expected to persist in February.\n\nHYDROLOGIC SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK...\n\nThe U.S. Geological Survey indicates streamflows of most area\nrivers and creeks are near to above normal. The latest lake water\nlevel readings from the Corps of Engineers indicate levels\nranging from two feet below to three feet above above\nconservation or irrigation pool levels. The latest Probabilistic\nHydrologic Outlooks indicate the potential for river flooding is\nnear to slightly below normal through the end of April.\n\nNEXT ISSUANCE DATE...\n\nAs drought conditions have improved, the next issuance of this\nproduct will occur when D2 drought returns.\n\n&&\n\nRELATED WEB SITES...\n\nNational Weather Service, Topeka - http:\/\/weather.gov\/Topeka\nU.S. Drought Monitor - http:\/\/droughtmonitor.unl.edu\/\nU.S. Drought Portal - https:\/\/www.drought.gov\/drought\/\nHigh Plains Regional Climate Center - https:\/\/hprcc.unl.edu\/\nKansas State Climatologist - http:\/\/www.ksre.ksu.edu\/wdl\/\nKansas Water Office - http:\/\/www.ks.kwo.org\/\nU.S.D.A.
