The latest Drought Monitor, released this morning, shows that abnormally dry (D0) conditions in Virginia, North and South Carolina have contracted due to recent rains from TS Elsa and frontal activity. The small area of D0 in southern Florida did not change. Abnormally dry conditions in Puerto Rico also shrunk but the area of moderate (D1) drought did not change from last week. Not many changes are expected in the next week as seasonal rain is likely to continue over most of the area.
