The Drought Monitor shows little change from last week, however, the dry/droughty areas have retreated a bit towards the Colorado border. The forecast is from the previous Tuesday so this doesn’t reflect recent rains. The six to 10 day outlook (Sept. 16 to 20) has below normal precipitation and above to below normal temperatures for the state depending where you are. We are forecasted for slightly above average. Looking out eight to 14 days (Sept. 18 to Sept. 24) indicates essentially more of the same.
