Fig. 2: ACIS 7-day average temperature anomalies show that the greatest positive temperature departures were over parts of Montana Rockies (>+10°F) and the greatest negative departure occurred over parts of the Colorado Rockies (<-10°F).

Note mostly status quo for this week (top left map). A drying trend is noted over the Northern Rockies this winter. Ref: Figs. 5a: Soil Moisture ranking in percentile based on 1916-2004 climatology as of 16 March. The same regional patterns of dry and wet persist since last week. Ref: Figs. 5b: Soil Moisture change in percentile based on 1916-2004 climatology for the week shows a much moister conditions over the Upper Mid-West and drier conditions over southern Louisiana. The Red circles indicate the Red River Valley in ND/MN (flooding) and significant flooding in New Jersey. Ref:
