Drought in Quitman, Mississippi

Drought January 6, 2026 – January 31, 2026 · Quitman, Mississippi

What the National Weather Service wrote

D2 Severe Drought conditions emerged in early January and persisted through the month.

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.
