US EditionMonsoon season brings the promise of rain for the arid southwestern US
- New Mexico and the Navajo Nation declared emergencies in May due to severe drought and escalating wildfire risks across the region.
- These declarations followed months of below-average precipitation and expanding drought that depleted forage and increased fire danger.
- The monsoon season began June 15 and has brought several downpours and scattered storms, offering partial relief while raising flood concerns on fire-scarred landscapes.
- Forecasters expect a high of 85 degrees on the 4th of July, with a mix of heat and storms continuing into next week, and officials set sandbag stations to prepare for flooding.
- These conditions suggest ongoing challenges balancing wildfire suppression and flood risk as monsoon rains provide limited overall water supply for the arid Southwest.
