Lack of Rain Proving To Be a Big Issue in Delaware

As I wrote last week, Delaware’s on the verge of facing a drought. Take a look at this short-term map which points to the fact that Delaware needs rain to start recovering. Without rain, we’re headed for some tough times.

The News Journal has a follow up article today which isn’t very optimistic for any change soon. As phillyweather.net reports:

The current drought monitor maps were issued this morning, showing 60% of Pennsylvania in some stage of abnormally dry conditions…up from 48% last week.  New Jersey and Delaware saw no change in their dry island status from last week to this as both states are in some stage of drought — whether it be classified as moderate (New Jersey) or severe (southern 78% of Delaware).
