Less than one percent of Texas is now suffering from dry or drought conditions.
That number is down from 4.3 percent of the state just one week ago, according to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB).
Only the Wichita Falls area now shows moderate drought.
Recent rains have been good for much of the state’s reservoirs. Current storage is 3.5 percent above normal for this time of year and 20 percent higher than this time last year.
Texas could see more rain in the coming weeks thanks to El Niño. Forecasters say temperatures will be lower than normal with chances of average or above average rainfall through the end of the year.
El Niño is expected to peak near New Year’s and ebb away by late spring. Some say it could give way into a La Niña weather pattern.
