Low amounts of precipitation over the course of March 2007 kept many counties across northwest and west central Minnesota in a D2 (severe) or D3 (extreme) drought designation (per the U.S. Drought Monitor). Although there were three distinct precipitation events in March (early, mid, and late month), this was not enough moisture to end the drought designation placed on most counties. Roseau, Lake of the Woods, North and South Beltrami, North Clearwater, and Hubbard counties remained in the D3 designation all month. East Marshall, Pennington, South Clearwater, and Wadena counties began the month in a D3 designation, and then dropped down to a D2 designation on March 6th, where they remained through the rest of the month. Red Lake, East Polk, Mahnomen, and East Becker counties remained in a D2 designation all month. Kittson and West Marshall counties began the month in a D2 designation, but were dropped from the D2 designation on March 6.
