Drought Persists as Plains Face Moisture Gap and Dry Soils
U S Department of Agriculture meteorologist Brad Rippey notes 20 to 30 inches of moisture lost across the plains and several seasons of significant rain needed to ease the drought. In New Mexico and Arizona rangeland remains poor to very poor, though conditions have improved with recent rains. Colorado shows 40 percent drought, with the southeast corner driest. Grass has greened in some areas but soils stay very dry, threatening crop potential without continued rain.
