March started warm and dry across western and central Wyoming, with only one significant storm affecting the state through the first week of the month. This trend changed by the middle of the month, when several storms brought cooler temperatures and much needed precipitation.

This directly raised the mothly precipitation amounts into one of the wettest March's on record.
