The water resources and supplies outlook is "good" for the entire Mid-Atlantic region.
As spring continues, a fairly typical pattern of low pressure systems are expected to affect the Mid-Atlantic region every few days. Usually, these weather systems tend to provide greater aerial coverage of precipitation. Rainfall over the past 2 or 3 months has been running near to above average for the entire Middle Atlantic. Assuming a continuation of near normal precipitation, few or no water supply shortages are anticipated within the Mid-Atlantic region over the next couple of months.
