Wet weather helps drought-stricken South

All of this rain will be extremely beneficial to the drought-stricken areas across the southern U.S. Almost 65% of Oklahoma is in the two worst categories of drought and 1-2 inches of rain will fall there. Almost every inch of land in drought between the Mississippi River and Appalachian mountains will receive up to an inch of rain, and in some cases, more.
