Dry Northeast Starting To See Drought Conditions Arise

Since the start of the year, NY and the Northeast has seen below-average precipitation amounts, and it's starting to show. Below average monthly precipitation totals have been recorded throughout most of NY since January, and the next week looks like it will only add to the deficit, as a series of high pressure systems keep rain out of the Northeast.



While drought conditions are still relatively minor, a couple more months of prolonged dry weather could see these conditions rapidly deteriorate, which does not bode well for farmers as planting season for many crops is just around the corner.
