Highlight
A record dry spell over the Carolinas came to an end on Saturday as much of the region received measurable precipitation for the first time since September 25. Meanwhile, a drought dating back to the spring of 1998 continues to worsen over much of the deep South. Rainfall deficits in this time period have ranged from 20 to 30 inches in the Carolinas to nearly 60 inches in Louisiana.
Did You
Know?
When high pressure sits over northern New England, an event called cold air damming can sometimes cause temperatures east of the Appalachians to be noticeably cooler than temperatures just west of the mountains. The circulation of the high leads to cold air being trapped against the eastern slopes of the Appalachians, which can lead to winter ice storms in this region.
