Forecasters warn of a warm, dry winter in Arizona

The surface of the Eastern Pacific continues to cool more than usual — which usually means a dry winter in Arizona and much of the Southwest…. The projected dry winter will likely have a big impact on the Colorado River …. The result will likely extend and deepen the rationing of Colorado River water next year.
