A sliver of D3 (Extreme Drought) would arrive at the southeast tip of Padre Island National Seashore (Kenedy County) on March 24th, with Severe (D2) conditions prevailing elsewhere on PINS through the 30th.

The wider storm

Persistent dryness across most of the Rio Grande Valley and Deep S. Texas ranchlands allowed a slow creep of Extreme to Exceptional (level 4 of 4) Drought as March reached its last week. Continued culling of cattle herds, as well as delays in spring planting and impacts on early spring growth, was noted by farmers and ranchers.
