| episode_narrative | The combination of the recent heavy precipitation during January and the mild temperatures that allowed water to soak into the soil and raise ground water levels permitted the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) on February 2nd to lift their drought warning. Concurrently the New Jersey State Department of Environmental Protection lifted its drought warning for seven northern counties (not covered by the DRBC declaration) in the state including Morris and Somerset Counties. The water level in the thirteen reservoirs in the northern part of the state has risen from 44 to 74 percent of capacity as of February 2nd. On the heels of the third wettest January on record for the state, February's monthly precipitation total on a county weighted average was a few tenths of an inch (or about 85% of normal) below normal. |
