With the exception of portions of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and adjacent highlands, precipitation across northern and central New Mexico was well below normal.  Most areas across the southeast quadrant received less than 25 percent of normal, while the remainder of the state was generally less than 50 percent.  The below normal precipitation across the southwest mountains allowed the severe (D2) drought to spread over a larger portion of this area.  However, the drought status elsewhere largely remained unchanged. Extreme (D3) to exceptional (D4) drought continued across much of the southeast quadrant, while severe (D2) drought continued across the northeast and central portions of the state. Monetary damages will be estimated at the end of the event.
