The latest Drought Monitor released this morning shows only minor increases in abnormally dry conditions in Virginia and North Carolina, while the rest of the Southeast remains drought-free. Most of the next two weeks is expected to continue to be dry for all but Florida, which could increase the abnormally dry conditions in some areas. Keep in mind, however, that fall is usually the driest time of the year for a lot of the Southeast, and this looks like it will not be an exception.  The tropics are relatively quiet for now but long-range models indicate that something could be brewing in a week or so. The Atlantic tropical season ends on November 30.
