FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW, A DROUGHT MAP ISSUED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOWS SOME IMPROVEMENT IN NEW MEXICO, THANKS TO MONSOON RAINS. BUT WE STILL HAVE THE WORST DROUGHT CONDITIONS IN THE NATION. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE SAYS RAINFALL IN THE DUKE CITY IS ABOVE AVERAGE FOR JULY.
METEOROLOGIST BRENT WACHTER SAYS THE DROUGHT WON'T END THIS MONSOON SEASON, BUT THE RAIN IS POKING HOLES IN THE DROUGHT'S INTENSITY.
