Weather Patterns We’re Watching
The next significant rainfall is anticipated on Thursday, November 21st. with an expected amount close to half an inch.
Drought Watch
The last significant rainfall in much of New England occurred in late September. The ensuing dry conditions have heightened wildfire risks and led to diminished levels in streams and reservoirs. This month only a trace of rain so far. October’s rainfall measured just 1.39 inches, nearly 2.5 inches below the normal 3.88 inches. Undoubtedly, the weather pattern with its many unusually warm days has been favorable for outdoor activities, construction projects, and travel overall. Yet, the increasing dryness throughout October has intensified into a severe drought. The mix of dry brush, shed leaves, warm temperatures, and gusty conditions has resulted in perfect weather for brush fires.
