HELENA — During a Montana Drought & Water Supply Advisory Committee meeting on Wednesday , experts suggested that June is a "make-or-break" month for drought.
"This year, we're set up on the drier side to start June," said Troy Blanford, a water information manager for the Montana State Library. "It's going to take June to improve conditions and really get through July [and] August. We're hoping for June [precipitation] to carry us a little bit further than typical."
