Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has placed four more
counties on drought warning status following a meeting today of the
Commonwealth Drought Task Force.
While recent precipitation over the past few weeks has helped dry
conditions in the eastern part of Pennsylvania, the central part of the
state still has persistent 90-day precipitation deficits of up to 4
inches from normal as well as low groundwater and stream levels.
Mifflin, Juniata, Snyder, and Union Counties were moved from drought watch to drought warning status. Snyder has a precipitation deficit of 11 inches from normal over the past year.
