Largest winter storm of the season helping dent Midwest drought

Posted by: Dr. Jeff Masters, 03:00 PM GMT em 21 de Fevereiro de 2013

The largest snowstorm of the winter for the Midwest drought region is winding up, and promises to bring more than a foot of snow to portions of Kansas and Nebraska. Rain and snow from the storm–dubbed Winter Storm “Q”–will put a noticeable dent in the Great Drought of 2012 – 2013 over the Midwest. A second storm due to move through the region on Monday will provide a bit of additional help. The twin storms promise to drop more than an inch of rain (or liquid equivalent rain, for regions like Kansas and Nebraska getting heavy snow.) Many areas of the drought region should enjoy their their wettest day in months on Thursday. The core drought region in the Midwest needs 3 – 9 inches of precipitation to end the drought, so the 1″ of precipitation expected from the two storms will merely dent the drought, not end it. Still, the economic value of the rain and snow from the two storms is in the billions of dollars. In addition, runoff from the storms will insure that barge traffic on the Mississippi River will be able to operate well into summer. The Mississippi River at St. Louis is currently about 7′ above the lowest water level on record, up over six feet from the near record-low levels of early January.
