Another week of the yo-yo in the temperature department ended up averaging us out to just over a degree above average although it was hardly a "typical" week of April weather for half of it. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday were on both sides of the coin, with the first and last of those three days chilly and damp while Wednesday brought us our second 80 degree day of the year as a warm front slid north for a few hours during the afternoon before another advancing cold front put an end to summer's attempts to establish itself. The most normal days of the bunch were arguably Monday -- sun and clouds mixed up -- and Saturday with its early rains giving way to a mild evening and some sunshine in the late afternoon hours.
Since the Mid Atlantic has been relatively robust in the rainfall department there are very few areas in the Northeast experiencing any dry conditions -- it is generally just a sliver of the Delmarva. The 0.24% of Northeast real estate in any sort of dry spell is the lowest this total has been in a while and a much different situation than we saw six months ago when much of the Delaware Valley was gripped by dry conditions. Even compared to a year ago, when we had a very wet February and March in 2010, the region is in better moisture shape...some to our north would argue a bit too soggy, but nonetheless the drought risk for now is very low and nationally confined to the Southeast coast and Texas.
