Monthly Summary
The strong El Niño event underway in the Pacific Ocean continued to impact the storm track across the northern hemisphere. Arizona benefited from this shift in storm track with several widespread precipitation events impacting the state this past month.
The El Niño event of this past winter has started to wane, but is expected to impact weather patterns at least through the end of March. Short-term climate outlooks issued by the NOAA Climate Prediction Center suggest that wetter-than-average conditions may continue through March, but then uncertainty grows for the rest of the spring season
