Description:

Flash droughts have been much in the news recently. The fl ash

drought event in the Northern Great Plains in 2017 received

especially widespread news coverage due to its severe impacts

on agriculture and livestock—the economic losses of which led

NOAA to categorize it as a billion-dollar weather and climate

disaster (NOAA Climate.gov 2018). Another billion-dollar

disaster that year resulted from wildfi res in the Mountain West,

which we show here, were also driven by rapidly evolving dry

conditions from anomalously wet antecedent conditions.
