Dry conditions continued over much of western north Texas, with average to below average precipitation again in March. A few thunderstorms brought beneficial rain, but only put a dent in the precipitation deficit that has occurred since October. The overall dry conditions were having an effect on the wheat crop, and farm ponds were running low. Wheat production was cut by a half in some places, and prices fell sharply by the end of the month. Grass fires were becoming more numerous as the green up was delayed. Numerous fires were reported over a large area, and burn bans continued for most of the month. Monetary damage estimates were not available.

Reported by: River/Stream Gage

An ice jam on the Big Black River at Depot Mountain caused brief minor flooding. The river rose to flood stage then stabilized. The river held around flood stage for an hour until the ice jam released. The flooding affected wilderness areas of the North Maine Woods bordering the river.
Dry conditions developed over western and northwest Oklahoma by the middle of the month, with average to slightly below average precipitation in March. A small saving grace were late month thunderstorms and an unseasonably strong winter storm. Although beneficial, the precipitation totals only put a dent in the precipitation deficit that has occurred since October. The overall dry conditions were having an effect on the wheat crop, and farm ponds were running low, making it hard to keep cattle on grazing lands. In some places, wheat production was cut to almost a third of what normally would be produced. Wheat prices fell sharply by the end of the month as a result of the dry conditions. In addition, grass fires were becoming more numerous as the green up was delayed. Numerous fires were reported over a large area, and burn bans continued for most of the month. Monetary damages estimates were not available.
