August Webinars Spotlight Conditions in Northern Plains and Beyond
Will the drought conditions in North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana improve anytime soon? Experts discuss the answer at the August 17 North Central Climate Summary and Outlook webinar later this month.
Meanwhile, NIDIS and its partners offer webinars on drought-related conditions in regions where the situation is not so extreme – for now. Those include the Colorado River and Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basins, and the Pacific Northwest each month. When conditions warrant the webinars may occur more frequently. All are free and open to the public, and most offer opportunities for a question-and-answer period after the presentations.
