According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, hot, dry weather continued across much of
the Northwest, causing conditions to deteriorate a conditions in many locations
as rainfall deficits increased and hot temperatures dried out vegetation. Many
locations in the region have experienced a record-breaking 80-plus days without
rain over the last three months. The dry conditions have fueled wildfires across
the region, prompting public health warnings because of decreases in air
quality. Looking ahead, rainfall from 0.5 to locally over 1 inch is also
forecast for northern New Mexico, southwest Colorado, and northern Utah, and in
southern Nevada, northwest Arizona, and southeast California through early next
week. According to the NASS crop progress report September 3, 2017, Hot and dry
weather continued across most of the State under the influence of stubborn high
pressure over the interior western United States. Rain only fell in parts of the
Sierras, as well as a couple areas of the desert, which were driven by a
monsoon. Some locations experienced record high temperatures; San Francisco
recorded its highest temperature ever recorded. Patchy snow existed at elevated,
sheltered areas in the Lassen Volcanic Park, with a maximum depth of one foot in
places. In addition, there are still one to three feet of snow on the peak of

the mountains, 90s to 100s in the desert, and 100s in the valley. Temperature
lows were in the 30s to 50s in the mountains, 50s to 60s along the coast, 60s to
70s in the valley, and 60s to 80s the desert. Alfalfa fields continued to be
