| Episode Narrative |
The severe drought conditions that developed across parts of southeast Minnesota in October 2011 continued through March for Dodge and Mower Counties. |
| Event Narrative |
Between one and two inches of precipitation fell across Dodge County during March. This was not enough to alleviate the severe drought conditions that developed during October 2011. Fire danger conditions increased to very high by the end of the month and burning permits were required. |
