For the most part the trend since the late fall has been to show wet events only for it to gradually back off as the events near. We'll see what happens with the event mid next week. Right now looks wet, 1" plus but we'll see how it progresses as we get closer. Pattern has been overall lacking in precipitation for months now. Drought Monitor issued today showed no change over the last week with still widespread dry to moderate or severe drought Mid-Atlantic and New England. Not a big deal now but two months from now if the dryness has not eased drought conditions will ramp up quickly once into May. We need March and April to deliver with above normal rainfall over a pretty large area.
