Here's a different picture (from Drought Monitor maps) of the drought pattern in the US now:
Really shows how dry it is in much of the far West and especially the NW.
Here's the link to the most recent Drought Monitor map, though note that the Palmer Index map is for the entire month of August, whereas the DM map if for last week--kind of shows what a whiplash TX and environs have been going through--drought to flood now back to drought. CA and the rest of the far west may be about to follow this pattern.
