With the full assessment of Tropical Storm Dolly available, conditions were improved over the regions that received the most rain from this event. Improvement was made to the drought intensity in south Texas, expanding the drought-free region northward.
D4 was also improved along the southern and southwestern edge of the exceptional drought region. In the Big Bend region, a categorical improvement was made where the D3 was eliminated and the D2 was shifted to the south. D0 was also eliminated in far west Texas and into southern New Mexico as monsoonal moisture along with the remnants of Dolly helped to improve conditions and even brought flooding in this region. In north central Texas, D2 was introduced and D1 was expanded to the west and east, as this area is close to 7.50 inches below normal precipitation since May 1.
