Watching for flash drought
Could the Imminent U.S. Heat Wave Trigger a Flash Drought?

July 19, 2016
Excerpts

"It wasn't too long ago--in 2012--that a promising-looking spring morphed into a terrible summer for the U.S. Midwest. A long-term drought that began in late 2010 had intensified over the Southern Plains in 2011, punishing farmers and ranchers and facilitating the loss of roughly 10% of all trees in Texas.

"The real shocker was how quickly drought conditions took hold further north across the Midwest in the summer of 2012, leading to the most widespread U.S. drought conditions since the 1930s."

"While long-term drought can emerge simply through a lack of precipitation, a flash drought is closely linked to hot summer weather."

"At first, the landscape may not be particularly dry, in which case large amounts of water vapor flow from vegetation and soils into the scorching surface air (as is expected later this week). If the heat is strong and sustained enough, the landscape quickly dries out and a flash drought takes hold."
