After a mostly dry weekend, rain should return to all of the Southeast by mid-week, increasing its coverage to include all of the region by the end of the week, according to the latest 7 day QPF maps. Amounts will vary from 0.5 inches along the coastal plain of Georgia to over 2 inches in southern Florida. Since the Drought Monitor map cutoff date is on Tuesday, it is possible that we could see some further increase in drought coverage but the rain after that should stave off any strengthening of the drought.
