Severe (D2) drought developed across much of central New Mexico late in March after the spring winds began to pick up and most areas received less than 10 percent of the normal precipitation for the month. Winter precipitation varied across central portions of the state, ranging from around 40 percent to near 120 percent around Albuquerque and Moriarty. These drought conditions are expected to worsen, setting the stage for wildfires. Monetary damages will be estimated at the end of the event.
