About 2 to 3 inches of rain was measured in many areas from January 1st through March 31st. This was approximately 25 to 50% of the normal value for that time period. Increasing rainfall associated with cold fronts and upper air disturbances during the second and third weeks of April led to conditions improving to moderate drought (D1) conditions by April 18th.
