Though significant rainfall occurred across portions of northwest New Mexico, and spotty locations elsewhere, drought conditions continued. September precipitation amounts were well over 100 percent of normal across the northern mountains and much of western New Mexico. However, due to the long term nature of the drought and well below normal precipitation totals for the year, the above normal precipitation in September mitigated the drought very little. In fact, the NOAA National Climatic Data Center reports that the first nine months of 2011 represent the driest start to any year on record for New Mexico.  Severe (D2) and extreme (D3) drought continued across much of the north and southwest, while exceptional (D4) drought stretched from the Rio Grande Valley southeastward to the Texas border. Monetary damages will be estimated at the end of the event.
