Despite the drenching storm that barrelled through much of Texas this weekend, the region still remains in a drought, officials say.Stacie Hanes, meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said Fort Worth is ahead in rainfall for 2006, but it has not been enough to cancel out last year's deficit.
"Normally, we see about 6 inches of rain through March 20, but this year we have already seen over 10 inches," Hanes said. "So we are ahead of schedule for the year, but we still aren't caught up."
