Dry conditions dominated the Ohio River Valley as well as the Upper Midwest where the dryness has been mounting during autumn. From Wisconsin into Iowa and Missouri, the greatest rains occurred with over 200% of normal precipitation recorded during the week. Those areas that missed out continued to be dry. MidwestĪ stark contrast in precipitation appears over the region where some areas were impacted by a strong frontal passage that brought with it excessive rain for this time of year. Drought intensities were expanded slightly in northeast Oklahoma and central portions of Texas due to a mixture of short- and long-term drought issues. Severe drought was expanded over portions of southern Louisiana where much of the recent rain has missed.

A full category improvement to the drought intensities was made over much of Arkansas, western Louisiana, and eastern Texas. Much of central and west Texas and central Oklahoma missed out on any rains this week. The wettest areas of the region were in eastern Oklahoma, northeast and south Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, where some areas recorded over 200% of normal rain this week. Only areas of the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma were near normal. Temperatures over the region were well above normal, with departures of 6-9 degrees above normal during the week. It appears that a tropical storm system will be sweeping through the area that may potentially put an end to some of the recently observed dryness. Severe drought expanded over western North Carolina while more abnormally dry conditions were reflected over Alabama.
Moderate drought expanded over Georgia as well as portions of South Carolina and into southern North Carolina. Severe drought was expanded over a large portion of central Georgia and into northern Florida. Degradation was widespread as dryness over the short term has started to impact the region. Some improvements were made to moderate and severe drought as well as abnormally dry conditions where the greatest rains occurred. Most of Mississippi as well as western portions of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina and portions of central Florida all had above-normal precipitation, with areas of Mississippi over 200% of normal. Most of the region was dry, but some areas recorded well-above-normal precipitation. Temperatures were well above normal, with most areas 9-12 degrees above normal for the week and pockets in the Carolinas that were 12-15 degrees above normal. With the continued warm temperatures and dryness, abnormally dry conditions were expanded over central Pennsylvania, into Maryland and in portions of both northern and southern New Jersey, where moderate drought also expanded slightly in the north. Temperatures were well above normal for the region with most areas 12-15 degrees above normal. Northeastĭry conditions dominated most of the region, with just a few pockets of rain taking place in the last week.
Dryness continues to build over eastern portions of the Midwest and into the Southeast as well as along the Gulf Coast. A continued wet pattern over the Pacific Northwest as well as portions of the Midwest has allowed for continued improvement to drought intensities, especially in areas that are receiving abundant precipitation. Temperatures over the eastern half of the country were above normal, some significantly, while most of the West was cooler than normal. With widespread heavy rain from Kansas into Wisconsin as well as portions of the lower Mississippi River valley, some areas recorded significant precipitation during the period. This week continued with another active weather pattern over portions of the Pacific Northwest as well as into the central Plains and Midwest.
