Drought January 1, 2026 – January 26, 2026 · Lafayette, Mississippi

What the National Weather Service wrote

D2 Severe Drought conditions improved by 1 to 2 categories by the end of January.

The wider storm

January featured multiple precipitation events, including rainfall and a significant winter storm (snow/ice) late in the month, which affected much of the Mid-South. These events contributed to short-term surface moisture gains. Despite these events, precipitation was not sufficient or consistent enough to fully eliminate long-term deficits, especially in areas that experienced prolonged dryness during fall 2025.
