Emergency Managers' Self Brief Home

After some much needed rainfall yesterday, you may be wondering, is the drought over? Well, as Yogi Berra once famously said, "It ain't over till it's over". Although some areas received up to 2 inches of rainfall yesterday, most areas received 0.5 to 1 inch, with some areas receiving much less (mainly Interior Downeast). Since we are running 2 to 4 inches below normal across the area, yesterday's rainfall made a dent, but we're not out of the woods yet. Dry conditions return today and will persist through Tuesday, with the possibility of showers returning on Wednesday. For the full forecast and updated rainfall amounts, visit www.weather.gov/car.
