Why are the drought status colors for some of the counties different from the icons in the county?
The color displayed for each county is that county’s current drought status as declared by the Governor. The color of the icon in the county represents the current drought indicator status for that specific parameter. For example, when looking at the surface-water indicator map, the icon color of green would indicate that the streamflow site used as that county’s surface-water indicator sites is currently experiencing flow conditions which would be considered normal for that station. The drought status of the county, as a whole, may be different because other parameters and factors are used to determine the drought condition.
