Weather tracker: Warm March in US leaves snowpack critically low

A historically warm winter across nine states in the US has left the mountain snowpack at critically low levels. The first month of meteorological spring brought exceptionally high temperatures, with numerous states recording new all-time high temperatures in March. This has raised concerns about the coming wildfire risk, and temperatures also remain high on the other side of the Pacific, where a rare tropical cyclone has formed. The low snowpack levels are a crucial source of water for millions in the American west, and the situation is being closely monitored.
