About 3 years ago the NWS changed criteria for drought reporting, which led to a large increase in coverage of reported drought conditions. As a Meteorologist, I don't agree with many of the changes. Long term hydrological droughts are factored in too heavily, too little weight given to soil moisture. As a result the long term TX droughts have taken the last year to be whittled away slowly, many areas that are in by no means what could be considered a drought, are still reported as such, because they're behind on the past 12, 24, or 36 month rainfall totals when past 1, 2, 3, 6, etc totals are at or above normal.
