OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The U.S. Drought Monitor is to release its latest report on drought conditions in Oklahoma and across the United States.
The Drought Monitor releases the reports each Thursday. Last week's report showed drought conditions in Oklahoma were intensifying and there has been little rain in the state since then.
There is though a chance for showers in parts of the state beginning Thursday.
Last week' report showed the Oklahoma Panhandle, northwestern Oklahoma and far southeastern Oklahoma in extreme drought. Severe drought is reported from southwestern across northern and into east-central sections.
