Texas has had ongoing drought problems for several years. The latest drought index shows 12% of the state with an exceptional drought and 35% of Texas in a severe drought or worse. That is about to change with welcome rains falling.

A slow moving low pressure drifting westward is producing some fairly widespread rains. This rain extends up into Kansas. Last year the plains baked under extreme temperatures and drought. It is not quite as bad this year do to more substantial precipitation amounts over the winter in many areas of the plains.
Last year, the heat would develop over the plains and build into the Ohio Valley with upper 90's and 100's at times. This year, the heat is not as intense so anything that develops from the plains into the Ohio Valley will not be as bad as last year.
