With the most recent U.S. Drought Monitor report keeping us under extreme drought for much of eastern Massachusetts, the rainfall amount needed to take us out of drought would have to range from 9-12 inches for much of southern New England, and from 6-9 inches to improve drought conditions for much of New Hampshire.
While we’re forecasted to get rain Sunday through Wednesday, precipitation amounts are expected to add up to less than 3” for now. It’s still an early forecast but we’ll make sure to keep you updated of any changes.
