April Ends Dry, Will May Be The Same?

Currently there are no drought conditions for western PA but if the
dry weather continues, expect that to change.

The month of April proved to be a little drier than average.  After a winter that did not produce much snowfall, the spring has started off dry as well.  Meadville Airport recorded 1.60 inches for the month of April, just about half of what is normal for the month (3.31 inches). The drought monitor has labeled much of the eastern part of the state as abnormally dry. If the lack of precipitation continues, a more severe level may be needed.  Recently, it seems we have entered  a more stormier pattern as we head into summer.  This pattern show provide rain for much of the state.  So it look as if May won't be as dry as April. Guess we will have to see.
