Drought in Texas, June 1 to 30, 2012

A lack of rainfall resulted in 21 counties in South Central Texas going back into severe or extreme drought conditions. Most of these counties received one half inch or less of rain during the month. Williamson County moved into extreme drought category (Stage D3) while the other counties went to severe category (Stage D2). Eleven counties had burn bans in effect, and fire danger at the end of the month was moderate to high. The Texas crop and weather report issued by Texas A and M Agricultural indicated conditions were very dry, and grasshopper pressure was high. Brush was showing signs of heat and water stress and was losing color. Pastures deteriorated, and row crops began to show moisture stress. Area lakes and reservoirs started to fall again and were generally well below normal pool elevations with Lake Travis around 40 feet below normal and Medina Lake 55 feet below. The seven day stream flow average over most of the region was in the below normal range, but the Upper Guadalupe and Lower Colorado basins were much below normal. The Edwards Aquifer was 22 feet below normal. The San Antonio Water System, City of Austin, and City of San Marcos were in Stage 2 water restrictions, and the City of Kerrville was in Stage 1.
