The Drought Monitor hasn’t yet been released as this is written but there is likely little change over the past week. The six to 10-day outlook (Dec. 28 to Jan. 1) indicates below normal temperatures for the state and believe it or not, above normal precipitation. While normal isn’t much, anything would be welcome. The eight to 14-day outlook (Dec. 30 to Jan. 5) indicates normal temperatures and normal precipitation. It appears that after a somewhat active weather pattern due to a what is termed a high amplitude jet stream we are entering a zonal pattern (fairly flat) and calmer weather to start the 2021.
