Drought intensifies in the West, raising concerns about fire and range conditions
Description: Extreme drought expanded to cover the Four Corners of Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, where high temperatures have escalated concerns about fire and range conditions. This region is quickly becoming home to the new epicenter of the 2013 drought. Ninety percent of New Mexico is now in extreme drought or worse. Little change is expected in this severity level across the state until any benefits the monsoon season may bring them. [Source: National Drought Mitigation Center]
