The water resources and supplies outlook is good for most of the Mid-Atlantic. The outlook is very good for southeastern areas in the region of southeastern Virginia as well as the middle and lower Delmarva Peninsula.
Precipitation has been lighter than normal recently for much of the Mid-Atlantic. As an indicator, calendar year 2021 has been normal to 3 inches below for most areas. As we head into spring, most water supply indicators are favorable. But, should drier than normal conditions continue through April and beyond, then water supply conditions could become a concern as spring and the growing season progress. For now, typical amounts of rainfall are expected for the next couple of weeks. Nevertheless, some concern is beginning for areas outside of the "very good" region mentioned above
