National Drought Summary - April 1, 2008
Hawaii: Below normal precipitation fell on the island chain last week, keeping D0 conditions intact.
Alaska: Significant precipitation continues to evade the D0 region, with only 0.1 to 0.5 inch reported at a few scattered locations. As a result, D0 conditions persisted.
Puerto Rico: Moderate to locally heavy rains fell on the northeastern, central, and western parts of the island, with 2 to locally 4 inches falling on part of the interior southwest. However, rainfall appeared insufficient to improve the D0 conditions covering most of the island.
