DROUGHT IS BACK

I knew that once this hot dry pattern started in June that the drought that we worked so hard to get rid of would come back.   Well today the Triangle is back in a moderate drought.  droughtjune10.gif

As the map above shows, the tan area is a moderate drought.  Remember, the yellow is only abnormally dry and not a drought.  But if we keep the same pattern up, the drought will continue to spread east this summer.

Normally we run a deficit this time of year and depend on thunderstorms and possible tropical systems to make up the deficit.  No one is wishing a hurricane to come our way, but we might need a tropical system to keep us out of a drought like earlier this year.
