The Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) has released its La Niña Drought Tracker for March. According to the report, drought is spreading across Arizona and New Mexico due to warmer than average temperatures and abnormally low precipitation, partly a result of the current La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific. La Niña conditions are expected to persist through the spring, although there are some signs the current La Niña is weakening.
