Last May began very dry then turned quite wet and stayed wet until early August when rain stopped.

El Nino  suggests a possible reversal this year.

I expect exceptional drought labeling later this morning.

1.5-2" of rain for half the month isn't bad.. it's about average. 

pre-El Nino May's are nothing significant in the MA

Appreciate the response and map! What month, if any, would average much above average precipitation so that we can put a real dent in this drought.
