Several storm systems moving across the Rockies through the month of March provided beneficial and much needed precipitation to much of south central and southeast Colorado. This is especially true across southeast Colorado, which recorded widespread precipitation amounts of 1 to 2 inches throughout the month, with local amounts exceeding 3 inches. The COOP observation in Eads, Colorado recorded 2.47 inches of precipitation in March, which is 1.54 inches above its monthly average.
