Minnesota remains in drought despite inches of snow and rain blanketing the state for an entire weekend.
”That's the biggest drink of water the state's had so far this year,” climatologist and meteorologist Mark Seeley said. Also, at least 30 new daily-precipitation records were reported last week, including 3.17 inches in one day in Owatonna.
Weather conditions are expected to dry out as April begins. And despite cooler than normal temperatures the first week of April, warmth will creep in.
“I think people are going to maybe even start to get a little spring fever here,” Seeley said.
MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Seeley about the March wrap-up in their weekly weather chat. Listen to the full conversation by clicking the player above.
