Southeastern Florida was inundated with heavy rain - more than a foot in some locations.
Precipitation across the upper Mississippi Valley and the state of Kansas reduced the intensity of the drought in those locations. Moderate to heavy rainfall also brought improvements to portions of the Northeast and the Washington Cascades in addition to the Sunshine State.
For some parts of the country, the pattern has changed from wet and cool to hot and dry. This week’s Drought Monitor reveals increased levels of drought as abnormal dryness continues to plague Oklahoma and the western Texas Panhandle. The drought also expanded or intensified in parts of southern New England and the mid-Atlantic states.
Parts of Montana, Wyoming, the central Rockies and northern High Plains continue to experience dry conditions.
The wet weather is expected to continue across the nation’s midsection into the southeast as temperatures look to be above normal from the Rockies east to the Atlantic Ocean.
