Rain shortage reduced a bit, but not much

On Saturday, the area received from a tenth of an inch to more than an inch and a half. That’s great news in the short term.

It mitigates our rainfall deficit at several points, particularly along and east of I-95. However, the rain wasn’t nearly enough to wipe it away — some spots were still 6 inches below the levels they’ve typically received since January 1.

The drought, the culmination of this prolonged lack of rain, remains unabated. If so, we could have just one week without exacerbating “moderate drought” across the region.
