The eastern half of the U.S. is drying out rapidly with small areas of improvement in parts of the West and Florida. Drought (D1-D4) covers 40.81% of the contiguous U.S., a jump of 4.91 points from last week as flash drought develops in the parts of the Midwest.

The updated U.S. hazards outlook shows the potential for much more drought development than the previous outlook.
Rapid onset drought risk exists from Missouri eastward to Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia and southward to Mississippi and Alabama.

La ‘#sequía flash’ que explica la voracidad de la ola de #incendios que arrasa España

El calor severo seca la vegetación y el suelo de inusualmente rápido crea las condiciones para que la plantas ardan
La #flashdrought, sequía repentina, “ha convertido la vegetación en combustible, incrementando la propensión de la vegetación a arder con alta intensidad y velocidad de propagación”, explica la catedrática de Análisis Geográfico Regional Cristina Montiel.

"Here we show that vegetation resistance to flash droughts declines by up to 27% (±5%) over the Northern Hemisphere hotspots during 2001-2022, including eastern Asia, western North America, and northern Europe. The notable decline in vegetation resistance is mainly attributed to increased vapour pressure deficit and temperature, and enhanced vegetation structural sensitivity to water availability."

Where has all the rain gone? Bone-dry October strikes much of US

"A bone-dry October is pushing nearly half of the #UnitedStates into a #FlashDrought, leading to fires in the Midwest and hindering shipping on the Mississippi River."

Rapid onset #drought risk exists for parts of Montana and North Dakota south to Oklahoma and Missouri, according to the Day 8-14 U.S. Hazards Outlook valid Aug. 8-14.

Drought continued to develop in the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the West, with areas of improvement across the US. #Drought (D1-D4) covers 19.43% of the contiguous US, a jump of 7.4 points over the past four weeks with #flashdrought expanding in the Eastern US.

Drought continues to intensify in the Southeast, Northwest and South, but has lessened in spots from the Southwest to the Great Lakes. #Drought coverage in the continental US has increased by 2.54 points to 18.67%.
#Flashdrought has been ramping up quickly in the Eastern US in recent weeks.

The US Seasonal Drought Outlook through September shows the expectation of #drought development (in yellow) and persistence (brown). Much of the drought expansion is likely to occur in July, as shown on the monthly drought outlook.

The US Monthly Drought Outlook for July forecasts large areas of #drought persistence (brown) and development (yellow).
The Climate Prediction Center has also noted areas of rapid onset drought risk in the Midwest, Southeast and Southern Plains in the first half of July.

#Flashdrought is taking hold in the Eastern US over the past couple of weeks with heat and lack of rain. #Drought (D1-D4) covers 16.13% of the contiguous US, a sizable jump of 4.1 points from last week. The 3-week change map shows significant changes in the Southeast.

Rapid onset #drought risk exists in large areas of the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast US and Southern Plains due to intense heat and dry weather from July 2 - 8 as posted by the Climate Prediction Center.

Following some relief over the winter, flash drought conditions have shown up in Oklahoma as well as Kansas. The majority of Oklahoma, especially in northern areas of the state, has generally received below-normal amounts of precipitation over the past three months. This week’s USDA crop progress report rated Oklahoma’s soil moisture condition as 46% short to very short.

Drought continued to expand across the lower Midwest and Southeast this week on the US #DroughtMonitor, while easing in the South and Pacific Northwest. The amount of the continental US in #drought (D1-D4) changed little from 37.45% last week to 37.44% this week. Note the #flashdrought in the Southeast in shades of orange on the 8-week change map.

Parts of the Southeast will be at risk of rapid onset #drought from Sept. 29-Oct. 5, according to the Day 8-14 U.S. Hazards Outlook.

#Drought expanded in the Midwest, Lower Mississippi Valley, Southwest and Pacific Northwest on the US #DroughtMonitor this week, while easing in #Texas. States along the Gulf Coast remain in the grip of intense #flashdrought. The low #MississippiRiver is hindering navigation along the lower part of the river and is affecting #water supplies below New Orleans.

Rapid onset drought risk exists for parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas, according to the Day 8-14 U.S. Hazards Outlook, valid Sept. 22-28.
#drought #flashdrought

Drought intensified and expanded in parts of the South and Midwest, putting 37.04% of the contiguous US in #drought, up 1.02 percentage points from last week. Drought continued to develop rapidly in parts of the South and along the Gulf Coast, as seen on the 5-week change map.

#Drought expanded and intensified again this week along the southern US from parts of Arizona to Florida. Rain from the remnants of Hurricane Hilary erased dryness in Nevada and SoCal. #Flashdrought continued to worsen in the South, notably in #Texas and #Louisiana.
