There were several days with record low high\ntemperatures in the single digits above and below zero. Record\nminimum temperatures were recorded at several locations. Sidney,\nNebraska established its all-time coldest minimum temperature for\nFebruary 14 and the month with -31 degrees.\n\nThe Arctic cold was accompanied by a series of low pressure systems.\nOne slow moving system produced moderate to heavy snow February 12-14.\nScottsbluff, Nebraska set a record 24-hour snowfall of 9.2 inches on\nFebruary 14, and 15.4 inches over a three-day period. The Snowy and\nSierra Madre mountains bore the brunt of the heaviest snow with\nestimates of two to four feet.\n\nThe March 2 U.S. Drought Monitor showed areas of moderate drought\n(D1) over much of Platte, Goshen and Laramie counties, portions of\nsoutheast Carbon and southwest Albany counties in southeast Wyoming,\nand most of Sioux, Scottsbluff, Banner and Kimball counties in the\nNebraska Panhandle.\n\nSevere drought (D2) surrounded the D1 areas of southeast Wyoming and\nwestern Nebraska Panhandle, as well as most of Converse, Niobrara,\nAlbany and central Carbon counties.\n\nExtreme drought (D3) covered northern and southern Carbon County, and\nfar southwest Converse County.\n\n.SUMMARY OF IMPACTS...\n\n.FIRE DANGER IMPACTS...\n\nNear to above average precipitation and below average temperatures\nacross southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle produced low fire\ndanger.\n\n.AGRICULTURAL IMPACTS...\n\nAs of March 5, calculated soil moisture deficits ranged between 40 and\n60 mm.\n\nWyoming February topsoil moisture was rated 87 percent short to very\nshort, compared to 90 percent in January. Subsoil moisture was rated\n84 percent short to very short, compared to 88 percent in December.\nHay and roughage supplies were rated 47 percent short to very short.\nStock water supplies were rated 38 percent short to very\nshort. Pasture and range conditions were rated 59 percent poor to\nvery poor, compared to 60 percent in January. Winter wheat was 20\npercent poor to very poor, compared to 19 percent in January.\n\nNebraska February topsoil moisture was rated 46 percent short to very\nshort. Subsoil moisture was rated 62 percent short to very short.\nWinter wheat was rated 22 percent poor to very poor and 44 percent fair.\n\n.HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS...\n\nWyoming SNOTEL snow water equivalents for the past 30 days varied\nbetween 70 and 100 percent of normal.\n\nBelow normal to normal streamflows were observed along the North Platte\nRiver, Encampment River, Little Snake River, Rock and Lodgepole Creeks,\nLaramie River, Medicine Bow River, and Little Laramie River.\n\nMarch 5 Southeast Wyoming and Nebraska Panhandle Reservoir\nStorages...\n\nRESERVOIR PERCENT FULL\n\nAlcova 85\nGlendo 76\nGuernsey 41\nKortes    100\nPathfinder 58\nSeminoe 56\nGray Reef 97\nBox Butte 60\nLake Alice  0\nMinatare 32\n\n.CLIMATE SUMMARY...\n\nBelow are the cumulative precipitation and percent of averages from\nSNOTELS for Water Year Oct 2020-Sep 2021, and Selected Cities in\nSoutheast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle since January 1.\n\nNote...Basin-wide percent of averages are based on 1981-2010 normals.\nSelected Cities percent of averages are based on 1981-2010 normals.\n\nBasin Precipitation % of Average Location\n(inches)Oct 2020-Sep 2021\n\nNorth Platte\nDivide Peak14.4            82\nLaprele Creek  7.5      77\nMedicine Bow27.7                MM\nNorth French Creek     23.5           108\nOld Battle 25.6            88\nSage Creek Basin  8.7    72\nSand Lake 20.8            105\nSouth Brush Creek  8.8       72\nWebber Springs 17.9         81\nWhiskey Park 22.6           97\nWindy Peak  6.4    78\n\nLaramie\/Little Laramie\nCrow Creek 6.0         73\nBrooklyn Lake20.9                  124\nCinnabar Park16.6           83\n\nLittle Snake\nSandstone RS12.3            79\nLittle Snake River25.2               99\n\nSelected Cities\nCheyenne0.19    75\nDouglas0.0713\nLaramie0.1249\nRawlins0.58    94\nTorrington0.06      9\nAlliance0.03 5\nChadron0.1016\nScottsbluff0.3986\nSidney 0.02        6\n\n.PRECIPITATION\/TEMPERATURE OUTLOOK...\n\nLa Nina conditions will persist through March, with a 60 percent\nchance of a transition to ENSO-Neutral in Spring 2021 (April through\nJune).\n\nThe outlook for March by the Climate Prediction Center predicts near\nto above average temperatures and below average precipitation.

Extreme drought covers all but a handful of counties in\nthe Tri State area, extending from northeast Colorado into all of\nsouthwest Nebraska and most of northwest Kansas. Agricultural\nimpacts continue with topsoil and subsoil moisture supplies rated\nshort to very short in 40 to 50 percent of reporting counties and\nwinter wheat rated poor to very poor in about 30 percent of\nreporting counties. Wildfires also continue to be a concern on dry\nand windy days.\n\nThe latest drought monitor was issued on March 4, 2021.\n\nDrought intensity is rated on a scale from D0 (abnormally dry) to\nD4 (exceptional).\n\nEXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT (D4) was occurring in the following counties:\nNone.\n\nEXTREME DROUGHT (D3) was occurring in the following counties:\n\nIn northeast Colorado: Kit Carson,Cheyenne.\n\nIn northwest Kansas:\nDecatur,Norton,Greeley,Thomas,Cheyenne,Wallace,Rawlins,Sherman.\n\nIn southwest Nebraska: Dundy,Red Willow,Hitchcock.\n\nSEVERE DROUGHT (D2) was occurring in the following counties:\n\nIn northeast Colorado: Yuma.\n\nIn northwest Kansas: Sheridan,Logan,Wichita.\n\nMODERATE DROUGHT (D1) was occurring in the following counties:\n\nIn northwest Kansas: Gove,Graham.\n\nABNORMALLY DRY (D0) was occurring in the following counties:\n\nNone.\n\nFIRE DANGER...\n\nAbove normal. Fuels are dry as a result of dry winter fuels and\ndrought conditions. Fire danger will continue to be a concern on\nwindy days with low relative humidity.\n\nAGRICULTURAL...\n\nTopsoil and subsoil moisture supplies continue to be impacted, as\ndoes winter wheat condition.\n\n.PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURE OUTLOOKS...\n\nThe latest monthly outlook issued by the Climate Prediction Center\nfor March 2021, shows above normal temperatures and below normal\nprecipitation chances.\n\nThe latest three month outlook issued by the Climate Prediction\nCenter for the months of March 2021 through May 2021, shows above\nnormal temperatures and below normal precipitation.\n\n.SEASONAL DROUGHT OUTLOOK...\n\nThe current seasonal drought outlook is valid for February 18,\n2021, through May 31, 2021...\n\nDrought is forecast to persist across the entire area.\n\n.NEXT ISSUANCE DATE:\n\nThis product will be updated by the 5th of each month as long as\ndrought persists across the area.\n\n.RELATED WEB SITES:\n\nAdditional information on current drought conditions may be found\nat the following web addresses:\nUS Drought Monitor: https:\/\/droughtmonitor.unl.edu\nUS Drought Information System: https:\/\/www.drought.gov\nNOAA Drought Page: https:\/\/www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov\/products\/Drought\nHigh Plains Regional Climate Center: http:\/\/www.hprcc.unl.edu\n\nClimate Prediction Center: http:\/\/www.cpc.noaa.gov\n\nDrought Outlook:\nhttp:\/\/www.cpc.noaa.gov\/products\/expert_assessment\/\nsdo_summary.php\n\nKansas Crop Weather:\nhttp:\/\/www.nass.usda.gov\/statistics_by_state\/kansas\/publications\/\ncrop_progress_and_condition\/index.php\n\nAdditional water and river information:\nNWS: https:\/\/water.weather.gov\nOWP: https:\/\/water.noaa.gov\nUS Geological Survey (USGS): https:\/\/water.usgs.gov\nUS Army Corps of Engineers (USACE): https:\/\/www.usace.army.mil\n\n.ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:\n\nThe US Drought Monitor is produced through a partnership between\nthe National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of\nNebraska-Lincoln, the United States Department of Agriculture and\nthe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\n\n.CONTACT INFORMATION:\n\nIf you have questions or comments about this Drought Information\nStatement, please contact:\n\nNational Weather Service\n920 Armory Road\nGoodland KS 67735\nPhone...785-899-2360\n\n$$","63":"827\nAXUS73 KLBF 181555 RRA\nDGTLBF\nNEZ004>010-022>029-035>038-056>059-069>071-094-212359-\n\nDROUGHT INFORMATION STATEMENT\nNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE\n1055 AM CDT THU MAR 18 2021\n\n...DROUGHT CONDITIONS HAVE IMPROVED ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN AND NORTH\nCENTRAL NEBRASKA...\n\n\n.SYNOPSIS...\n\nSINCE THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY...ABUNDANT PRECIPITATION HAD OCCURRED\nACROSS ALL OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

The\nremainder of the area remains abnormally dry.\n\nFor the last 6 months, long term deficits in moisture remain,\nwith some areas still 2 to 4 inches below normal.
