Our recent rains merely keep pace, unable to fully eliminate drought
We can’t quite seem to fully eliminate patchy drought and abnormally dry conditions out of the Mid-Atlantic region. The good news is that none of our patches of drought have gotten worse in the last week.
Portions of West Virginia have sprung ahead in the last week while the panhandle of Virginia, as one example in the yellow shading, has outpaced dryness in other parts of the region. Outlined are the patchy drought and abnormally dry conditions. Gray shading is neutral — we’ve neither improved nor worsened conditions from two weeks ago.
So it’s a somewhat neutral position to be in, we are merely breaking even in our rain amounts lately. Because we have had preexisting rainfall deficits and drought conditions for much of the year, we’re not able to fully kick our need for surplus rains. Our rainfall deficit map would need to have light orange shadings fully eliminated to kick our drought zones.
