It might be time to start praying for rain.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Henderson County is currently in a moderate drought and the impact is being felt.
Earlier this week, the Henderson County Fire Marshal issued a statement saying we are in a period of “high fire danger.”
“The current fuel load and winds make it very dangerous to burn,” Fire Marshal Shane Renberg said.
In addition, the water level at Cedar Creek Lake is down almost 10 percent to 319.98 feet. The photos were taken today and show the lake from the SH 334 bridge near GBC City Hall.
According to the Tarrant Regional Water District daily reports, CCL is losing an average of 110 million gallons per day through evaporation this week. Those same reports show TRWD has not pumped any water out of the lake in at least the past 14 days.
There’s a small chance of rain possible on Saturday, but that is the only precipitation on the National Weather Service forecast.
