River Report – Low Flows but Rain in the Forecast
Rains through last weekend helped buoy river flows, which is nice to see after a dry summer. Rain for this time of year is on par with the average.
Unfortunately, the rain might be too little, too late for fall leaf peepers. The experts are calling for an early and lackluster fall color season.
According to the Virginia DEQ’s most recent Drought Advisory Update, the Shenandoah region remains in Drought Warning while much of Northern Virginia is back in Drought Watch.
The U.S. Drought Monitor map now shows a tiny sliver of Extreme Drought (D3) sneaking over the light gray line that outlines the Potomac basin. The Severe and Moderate drought status in the basin is not significantly different from last week’s map. The dark red showing Exceptional Drought (D4), the worst in two decades, is outside the Potomac basin and eastern panhandle of West Virginia.
