Recent U.S. Drought Monitor data valid through August 18, 2026, and released August 20, confirm persistent D4 exceptional drought across western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle amid broader Southern Plains deterioration. This aligns with observed heat, limited monsoon relief, and soil moisture deficits tracked by NOAA and NASA inputs to the weekly composite. National coverage of D1–D4 drought reached 44.34 percent, with continued expansion noted in the Northern Plains and Northwest. The next map, released August 27 with data through August 25, will determine resolution; short-term precipitation forecasts and any rapid model shifts in the final days of the period represent the main variables that could alter D4 extent or intensity in key states.
