A new area of extreme drought was added along the western coast of Florida where the rainy season has yet to occur and record-setting dryness is impacting the region. Abnormally dry conditions were improved in northeast North Carolina and two new pockets of abnormally dry conditions were added in southern North Carolina and northwest South Carolina.

With some areas dry over the last several weeks, conditions are favorable for rapidly changing status if the pattern persists. With much of the region not being impacted by dryness or drought, changes were limited.

The driest conditions were observed over southern Alabama into the Florida panhandle as well as in central Georgia. Precipitation was greatest over northern Alabama, northern and southern Georgia, north Florida and northern South Carolina. Farther south, temperatures were above normal, although Florida saw departures of 2-3 degrees below normal. Temperatures in the northern portion of the region were cooler than normal with departures of 1-2 degrees below normal. Moderate drought conditions were improved over western New York and western Pennsylvania as well as northern New Jersey. Abnormally dry conditions were improved over both western and eastern New York, southern New Jersey, central and western Pennsylvania, northern Maryland and southern Connecticut. The cooler and wetter pattern allowed for some improvements in the region this week. The most abundant rains were observed over Pennsylvania into the DelMarVa Peninsula as well as eastern New York and portions of Vermont and Connecticut. Precipitation was spotty and there were equal numbers of dry and wet areas. Temperatures in the region were mainly cooler than normal outside of New England, which had temperatures that were near normal to 2-4 degrees above normal in Maine. Temperatures in the West, Southwest, South and Southeast were warner than normal, with some departures in Arizona 8-10 degrees above normal for the week and most other areas at least 2-4 degrees above normal. Temperatures were cooler than normal over most of the central Plains, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic with departures of 2-4 degrees below normal widespread. The monsoon season in the Southwest has remained quiet with record-setting heat dominating the region into the southern Plains. Record-setting rains were recorded over western Kentucky and the area had significant flooding. Areas of the High Plains, Central Plains, Midwest and South had the most active precipitation patterns over the last week.

USGS rain-gage data shown in the table are available at Water Data for the Nation : Current Iowa Precipitation “ – – ” Parameter not determined, usually due to missing data.The "no data" icon is the result of an NWISWeb status code: The colored portion of the icon will represent the precipitation amount for that time interval. Half colored icons designate gage data that appears to be logging correctly but is over 1 hour and 15 minutes older than the NWISWeb time stamp at the top of the Rainfall page.Hourly and Daily values are calculated from the last time a gage value was updated, which is not necessarily the time this web page was updated. * For precipitation values less than 0.01 inches, the USGS gage symbol is white and the NWS overlay is transparent.
