The crop-killing drought that has parched much of the West for 13 years is expected to continue, according to a grim new forecast from the Department of Agriculture.
“Right now the West Coast is all red,” Natural Resources Conservation Service Hydrologist Tom Perkins said. “Early indications are it will be very dry in the western part of the West, but wetter as you travel east. There are some exceptions to this, as New Mexico, Arizona, parts of Utah and southern Colorado are also expected to be dry.”
