| episode_narrative | The long and devastating drought is finally being closed out. Although the lands in the region will take a long time to recover (and most agricultural experts would agree that their drought had not ended), meteorologically the weather pattern began a drastic change by April 29. Droughts are much more sluggish than this summary might convey, however, when restricted to an exact time for an end, April 29th seemed like a good choice. On the morning of the 29th, the first in a series of upper level low pressure systems was dropping southward into southern California. For more than a year this situation had been a very rare occurrence, however, beginning on April 29th, low pressure centers dropping into the Desert Southwest became common.Once again the countryside in West Texas became green. |
