And there will be some benefit of this modest moisture as it melts and percolates into the upper soil layers in the coming days.

Synopsis... After a series of winter storms finally brought some minor drought relief to the region in January, a dry weather pattern has settled back into the region this February. Despite the recent lull in precipitation, snow cover through higher terrain locations of Arizona remains modest ranging from 40-80% of normal. Lower elevation rainfall totals in January were quite beneficial with parts of SW Arizona actually receiving around one third of their average annual rainfall in just a couple days. However most of the region received far lower totals, and overall benefits were rather muted. The rarest category of Exceptional Drought had retreated somewhat with the January weather systems and encompass the eastern half of Pinal County, southern part of Gila County, and a small piece of far southeast Maricopa County...]]> <![CDATA[READ MORE ABOUT THIS NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=PSR&product=DGT]]> PUB 20210319 <![CDATA[ National Weather Service National Weather Service Pueblo Co 150 PM MST Fri Feb 19 2021 COC003-009-011-015-021-023-025-027-041-043-055-061-065-071-079-089- 099-101-105-109-119-262100- 150 PM MST Fri Feb 19 2021 ...Improvements in the Drought Across South Central Colorado... SYNOPSIS... Late January and early February storm systems have provided some beneficial precipitation across portions of south central Colorado. This is especially true for the higher terrain of the central and southwest mountains, where current NRCS SNOTEL data indicate snowpack in the Upper Rio Grande basin and in the Arkansas basin being the only basins across the state at or above normal to date. With that said, the latest US Drought Monitor, issued Thursday February 16th 2021, now indicates severe drought (D2) conditions across Mineral County, western portions of Conejos and Rio Grande Counties, the western half of Saguache County, as well as all of Lake and Chaffee Counties. The latest US Drought Monitor also continues to indicate exceptional drought (D4) conditions persisting across central portions of Kiowa County and extreme northeastern portions of Teller County into northern portions of El Paso County. Extreme drought (D3) conditions are indicated across the rest of Kiowa County, northern and extreme eastern portions of Bent County, Prowers County, and northeastern Baca County. Extreme drought (D3) conditions are also depicted across most of the rest of Teller and El Paso Counties, northern Pueblo and Crowley Counties, extreme northeastern Otero County, as well as southwestern portions of Las Animas County, southern Costilla County, and extreme southeastern Conejos County. Severe drought (D2) conditions remain indicated across extreme southwestern portions of Teller and El Paso Counties, northern portions of Fremont County, central portions of Pueblo County, the rest of Crowley County, northern portions of Otero County, north central to southeastern portions of Bent County, and the rest of Baca County. Severe Drought (D2) conditions are also indicated across the eastern 2/3rds of Huerfano County, northeastern to southeastern Las Animas County, as well as the rest of Costilla County and eastern Conejos County. Moderate drought (D1) conditions are depicted across eastern Saguache and Rio Grande Counties, northeastern Conejos County, Alamosa County, northern Huerfano County, Custer County, and southern Fremont County...]]> <![CDATA[READ MORE ABOUT THIS NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=PUB&product=DGT]]> RAH 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=RAH&product=DGT]]> REV 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=REV&product=DGT]]> RLX 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=RLX&product=DGT]]> RNK 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=RNK&product=DGT]]> SEW 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=SEW&product=DGT]]> SGF 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=SGF&product=DGT]]> SGX 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=SGX&product=DGT]]> SHV 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=SHV&product=DGT]]> SJT 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=SJT&product=DGT]]> SJU 20210319 <![CDATA[NO DROUGHT STATEMENT AVAILABLE FOR THIS AREA.]]> <![CDATA[WHEN AVAILABLE, NWS DROUGHT STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND AT: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=HUN&issuedby=SJU&product=DGT]]> SLC 20210319 <![CDATA[ National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT 1200 PM MST Mon Mar 8 2021 ...WIDESPREAD EXTREME TO EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT CONTINUES .SYNOPSIS: .Drought intensity and extent: According to the March 2, 2021 release of the United States Drought Monitor, 86% of the National Weather Service Weather (NWS) Forecast Office Salt Lake City, UT (WFO SLC) County Warning Area (CWA) is experiencing extreme (D3) to exceptional (D4) drought conditions.

The exception was moderate (D1) to severe (D2) conditions across western Pima county. Precipitation: Although the area saw some widespread rainfall during the second half of January, the 12-month rainfall totals for portions of southeast Arizona are at or near the record driest levels through the end of January. The exception is across western Pima County where above normal rainfall has occurred in the past 12 months.
