Have to get you out of D1 and ITT/MJS need it to avoid a D2 to start the New Year.
Northeast Drought Summary
A one-category improvement was made to portions of western Maryland and West Virginia which received near one inch of precipitation this past week. Following the major drought that began in July and peaked later in September, frequent precipitation along with seasonably cooler temperatures have led to continued drought improvement across the Central Appalachians. Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island also benefited from recent precipitation and a one-category improvement was made to this region, closely following guidance from the NDMC short-term drought blend and 90-day SPI. Although precipitation was lighter (0.5 inch or less, liquid equivalent) this past week across Connecticut, southeastern New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and northeastern Maryland, a reassessment of SPIs at various time scales and lack of ground impacts led to a one-category improvement for portions of these states.
