The drought that began back in July 2005 and re-emerged in February 2006 continued through March 2006 but shrunk considerably in size and scope by the start of April 2006. This shrinkage was due to a persistent wet pattern that had set up during March 2006 and continued into April 2006. Since the growing season had yet to begin, the drought was essentially hydrologic in nature. A report of the hydrologic conditions is supplied by the service hydrologist.River ConditionsMonthly stream flows for March averaged near normal (25th to 75th percentile) to below normal (10th to 24th percentile).  All basins averaged below normal except for the lower Cedar-Iowa River basins and the entire Rock River basin, which averaged near normal.Stream flows began the month with most locations reporting stream flows that were below normal (10th to 24th percentile) or much below normal (less than 10th percentile).  A few locations reported near normal (25th to 75th percentile) conditions and one location reported a record low flow for the day.  Stream flows gradually decreased until moderate rainfall fell on the 5th.  On the 6th, stream flows began increasing in response to this rainfall.  Stream flows then remained nearly steady or increased slightly through the 13th when most locations reported near normal conditions.  Some locations reported below normal (10th to 24th percentile) flows while other locations reported above normal (76th to 90th percentile) flows.Stream flows then gradually decreased into the late parts of the month but then rose on the last day of the month.  On the 30th most locations reported below normal conditions while some locations reported near or much below normal flows.  Moderate rainfall on the 30th resulted in flow increases on the 31st.  On that day, half of the locations reported below or much below normal flows and half of the locations reported near or above below normal flows.Source: U.S. Geological Survey, WaterWatch Web site (http://water.usgs.gov/waterwatch/).DroughtAccording to the U.S. Drought Monitor maps, minimal changes in the drought situation occurred during the month.  Severe drought conditions (D2) continued to cover much of the HSA with moderate drought conditions (D1) across northwestern portions of the HSA.

The wildfire known as the Borger wildfire started four miles southeast of Borger on the Burnett (6666) Ranch property. This wildfire was  caused by downed power lines due to the strong gradient southwesterly winds. The wildfire burned four hundred and seventy-nine thousand five hundred and forty-nine acres. Twenty eight structures were lost and seven people were killed. This fire burned into southeast Hutchinson County...northwest Gray County...through central Roberts County and finally into western Hemphill County. The second wildfire known as the Interstate 40 wildfire burned four hundred and twenty-seven thousand six hundred and ninety-six acres.

Mid level convection developed west of a dryline over the plains of southeastern New Mexico, and propagated northeast over the southwestern portions of the South Plains during the evening of the 5th. The weakly convective clouds produced no cloud-to-ground lightning, and all precipitation evaporated as it fell into a deeply mixed boundary layer with dewpoint depressions on the order of 50 degrees. Severe wind gusts, possibly associated with dry microburst activity, were recorded by the West Texas Mesonet site in rural areas of southwestern Yoakum County. No damage was reported.

An early Spring winter storm moved from the central Plains into the Ohio Valley from 20 March to 21 March 2006.  An initially dry atmosphere precluded precipitation from reaching the ground but once saturation had occurred, snow broke out over southeast Iowa, west central Illinois, and far northeast Missouri in a 3-5 hour time period.

A blocking pattern in the upper level wind flow across Greenland maintained a trough of low pressure across eastern North America on the 3rd and 4th. On the night of the 3rd, moisture and warmer air aloft backed southwest into an arctic airmass across northern Vermont causing snow to develop. Northwest winds at the low levels caused upslope conditions to develop during the morning of the 4th across the higher elevations with much lighter amounts in the downsloping valleys. Snowfall accumulations ranged from a few inches in the Connecticut River valley to over a foot in the mountains. Some specific snowfall totals include: 3 inches in St. Johnsbury, 7 inches in Canaan, 11 inches in Island Pond with 12 inches in East Burke and 15 inches in Sutton.
