As this morning's story noted, the summer rains are starting, and this week's drought monitor notes that we can start to see the results:

Texas and New Mexico:  This was one of the few areas of dryness and drought that received substantial, drought-easing precipitation last week, though there were a few notable exceptions. Anywhere from 1 to several inches of precipitation induced 1-classification improvements for sizeable portions of Texas and eastern New Mexico. Amounts were quite heavy in a few isolated areas, most notably across inland areas near the far southeastern Texas coast, and at a few sites along the Rio Grande River in and near Val Verde County. In most areas, however, precipitation totals were less impressive (between 0.5 and 2.0 inches), and most of south-central and far southern Texas recorded little or no rainfall.

 The map still looks a bit grim, though:
