The first two weeks of October picked up right where September left off regarding rainfall (or lack thereof) in Southeastern New England. So far this month there has only been 0.47″ of rain at TF Green Airport and 0.45″ of rain in Boston. That represents less than 25% of the normal monthly rain through October 16. Dating back to September 4 there has only been 1.48″ of rain in Providence, and 1.9″ of rain in Boston. None of the Northeast is in a drought, but a couple of spots (E MA and SW CT) in Southern New England have moved into the “Abnormally Dry” category.
The second half of October does not look as dry as the first half, but it is unlikely that there will be enough rain to reach the monthly normal.
