March 2016 was much drier and warmer than normal across nearly all of New Mexico . The first 11 days of the month were mostly dry with above normal temperatures across all of New Mexico. Finally a small, but potent storm delivered rain and mountain snow showers on the 12th, as well as a few thunderstorms. But the dry conditions returned for the rest of the month, aside from a light to moderate snow event in the northeast on the 26th. Two long duration high wind events impacted New Mexico from the 21-23 and 28-30. Snow began to fall over northern New Mexico late on the 31st. March: Much Below Normal Precipitation; Two Long Duration High Wind Events
Much of New Mexico experienced little or no precipitation during March 2016 (as indicated by the percent of normal precipitation graph above). There were only two storms that delivered light to moderate snowfall. The first was on the 12th with light snow over the northern and central mountains and adjacent higher terrain. The second was on the 26th and impacted the northern mountains and northeast with light to moderate snow. High winds were more of an issue with long duration events from March 21-23 and 28-30.
