Fact Sheet Resources from OSU Extension on Drought
Every month, the Oklahoma Water Resources Bulletin produces a summary on Oklahoma's current conditions. Precipitation, soil moisture, drought indices, a weather/drought forecast, a crop report, reservoir storage, and streamflow conditions are included.
The Crop Progress and Condition Report includes degree days, air temperature, precipitation, crop planting progress, crop development and harvesting progress. This report is published weekly except for the winter months of December, January and February, when issued monthly.
VegDRI maps are produced every two weeks and provide regional to sub-county scale information about drought's effects on vegetation. The VegDRI calculations integrate satellite-based observations of vegetation conditions, climate data, and other biophysical information such as land cover/land use type, soil characteristics, and ecological setting. The National Drought Mitigation Center produces VegDRI in collaboration with the US Geological Survey, and the High Plains Regional Climate Center, with sponsorship from the US Department of Agriculture.
The U.S. Drought Portal provides current drought information, impacts, forecasts, and reports by state or region, along with supplemental tools to aid in education, planning, recovery, and research.
The U.S. Army Corps maintains a daily report of reservoir conditions for each Oklahoma Basin.
