Well, that was it when it comes to rain for the week. Yesterday saw the weekly update of drought maps across our area, and as expected, we saw slight increases in "abnormally dry" conditions.

The largest cluster of abnormally dry conditions extends from Indiana and Armstrong County up to Lake Erie and then over to Tioga and Bradford Counties in the center north of the state. All of Greene County, along with most of Beaver and Fayette Counties, is also "abnormally dry."
