The latest drought numbers are a little encouraging for the Northwest. For the first time in several weeks, the drought severity did not change for Oregon, Idaho or Washington.
In Washington, 93% of the state is under a D-1 or Moderate Drought, while over half of the state is under a D-2, or Severe Drought designation.
In Oregon, while the entire state is abnormally dry for this time of year, the D-1 and D-2 designations are much smaller than Washington.
In Idaho, 43% of the state is under a D-2, or Severe Drought designation while over 15% of the state is under a D-3, or Extreme Drought.
