Drought in Texas, May 1 to 31, 2013

May brought some much needed rain to South Central Texas. Much of the area received above normal rainfall and 14 counties moved to better than severe (Stage D2) drought. In addition, Bandera, Kerr, Medina, Real, Uvalde, and Williamson Counties improved a category to stage D2. All the other counties stayed the same with Kinney, Maverick, and Val Verde in exceptional (Stage D4) drought category, Dimmit, Edwards, and Zavala in extreme (Stage D3), and Bastrop, De Witt, Frio, Gillespie, Lee, and Llano in severe (Stage D2) category. Fire danger at the end of the month was low to moderate. Of the counties in D2 or worse drought seven had outdoor burn bans in effect at the end of the month. These were Dimmit, Edwards, Frio, Kinney, Maverick, Medina, and Val Verde. The seven day stream flow averages were much below normal (less than 10 percent) across the Colorado River basin. The Guadalupe, Nueces, Rio Grande, and Frio River basins were reporting below normal (10 to 24 percent) flow. Area lakes and reservoirs continued below normal pool elevations. Lake Amistad was around 61 feet below normal at 1056.3 feet which is a new record low for the lake. Lake Travis was 52 feet below normal and Medina Lake near 82 feet below normal which left it at 5.5 percent of capacity. The Edwards Aquifer saw some improvement from the rain in May, but was still 8 feet below normal, and 4.2 feet below the level at the end of May 2012. Uvalde was in stage 5 water restrictions and Kerrville was in stage 1.
