Description: |
An area of severe drought (D2) was introduced to northeastern South Dakota, based on 60-day precipitation deficits, 30-day and 60-day SPI, recent warm temperatures, and increased water demand through evapotranspiration. In addition, spectacular dust storm, attended by 50 to 80 mph winds, blew through this region (Hand and Faulk Counties). [Source: High Plains Journal]
