Severe Drought Conditions Expanded For Northern New Jersey
Severe Drought Conditions Expanded For Northern New Jersey
Even though we got a decent shot of rain yesterday, severe drought conditions have been expanded to include all of Northern New Jersey. One rainfall does not a drought break. With rainfall deficits approaching 12-18 inches in many areas, it is going to take 6 months worth of rain just to bring things back to dead even. The overall dry weather pattern is forecast to continue at least into mid November.
