Droughts are often categorized as \u2018flash\u2019 droughts when they develop or intensify in a matter of weeks (though defining flash droughts continues to be an area of active debate).\u00a0The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) and the National Weather Service (NWS) held a series of three webinars to help climate professionals and operational service providers better understand this phenomenon, its defining characteristics and how it varies by region and season, its impacts on agricultural and other stakeholders, and the potential for improved monitoring, prediction, and planning\/response tools (datasets, maps, etc.).
