Recent winter storms are helping with the state's drought conditions, according to experts, but as far as long-term drought conditions are concerned, that's a different story.
Experts say with all the rain and snow that Arizona has received recently, the state's drought conditions are actually improving.
The map from recent days shows most of the state either has no drought, or is abnormally dry. Some parts of Mohave and Coconino Counties, however, remain under a severe drought."We had such an amazing monsoon season last summer. That was exceptional. Prior to that, though, if we go back to April and May, those were the driest Aprils and Mays on record. So, we are really fortunate to have a nice, wet monsoon season. It stayed wet through the end of the year.
"We look at the Salt and Verde River quite a bit. That helps manage what happens in the Metropolitan Phoenix Area, and they are at about 70% to 71% of their levels right now," said Saffell. "We are at 150% of median snow water equivalent," said Saffell. "We are doing exceptional right now."
