West Texas planters hail rain forecast amid drought
Brad Heffington, a 6000 acre Littlefield cotton grower, celebrates forecasts of up to 5 inches of rain across West Texas through the week. Meteorologist Mark Conder notes heavy rains possible near Midland and Odessa with flash flood watches. Cooler highs in the upper 70s expected as a slow moving low from Ohio and Missouri affects the region. Residents should be ready for flooding on low lying roads while South Plains farmers remember the driest stretch since 1895.
