This should start improving soon IF we get plentiful rain next week but D2 has now taken over the ITT Airport and snuck up into or beside Rou.
Northeast Drought Summary
Generally 1 to 3 inches fell on much of central and southern West Virginia, resulted in continued slow improvement. Several tenths of an inch fell to the north up the western tier of Pennsylvania, as well as limited areas in central Pennsylvania and adjacent Maryland. Elsewhere, essentially from north-central Maryland northward and eastward, little or no precipitation fell. A severe lack of precipitation has been in place since about August 19. From then through Nov. 19, 0.79 inch of rain has been reported in Trenton NJ (normal 11.58 inches, so about 7 percent of normal) and 1.09 inches has fallen on Philadelphia PA (normal 11.45 inches; less than 10 percent of normal). Very low amounts can be found for this period over a large part of the Northeast Region east of the mountains, and in some cases across the higher elevations as well. As a result, conditions continued to deteriorate in these areas. D3 expanded from part of southern New Jersey into adjacent southeastern Pennsylvania, central Delaware, and northeastern Maryland while a new area of D3 was introduced over much of eastern Massachusetts and some adjacent sites. Severe drought (D2) expanded to cover much of the East Coast Megalopolis and the western suburbs. Unusual brush fire activity and wildfire danger has been frequent for the past couple of months, and a few municipalities have mandatory water use restrictions in place, including the Trenton NJ Water Works and the Borough of Doylestown PA
