Hi Folks
With apologies for cross-posting, please see the latest NIDIS update. I
had a great chat with Sylvia Reeves, our NIDIS Northeast DEWS
coordinator earlier this morning and shall continue to work with her
closely as the situation continues. I also did a VPR Morning Edition
interview this morning which will air next Monday. Once it goes live,
I'll forward some of the additional links to resources. New Hampshire
and Maine have activated their respective Drought Task Forces and are
begining to collect impacts and concerns at a centralized site.
Happy Fourth of July weekend everyone

Drought Early Warning Update for the
Northeast
July 1, 2021
Another Northeast Drought Settles in With the Onset of Warmer Than
Normal Temperatures and Below Normal Precipitation
This Drought Early Warning Update is issued in partnership between the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Geological
Survey, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to communicate
concern for drought expansion and intensification within the Northeast
U.S. based on recent conditions and the forecasts and outlooks. NIDIS
and its partners will issue future Drought Early Warning Updates as
conditions evolve.
This covers the following states in the Northeast U.S.: Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York.
For more details, see the Northeast Drought Early Warning System
Dashboard.

region. Above-normal precipitation is favored for western
Massachusetts and Connecticut and much of New York. Normal
precipitation is favored for the rest of the region.
* The 3-4 week outlook favors above-normal temperatures across the
Northeast and equal precipitation chances for the region.

Soil Moisture End Users Listening Session
July 13 or July 22, 1:00-3:00 p.m. ET
Do you use (or *wish* you could use) soil moisture data or maps to
support your decision making, advising, or other work activities?
Do you want to share your opinions on which soil moisture datasets,
maps, and tools are needed to better inform drought, flood, or other
natural resource issues?
In July, the National Coordinated Soil Moisture Monitoring Network
<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001afbSMhmzSOUNyWVHRkfielSgihYbSrPC2F_uFJinZWIgP8AkNoVWlK25P_18ob5_ViYzuPf4r914Mr-8A5kOPU05NwDo_R3DhUpa93PwlUhl4HJkvWq48KR-J-w6oyAbGSNdFD6W1t3rYlJcJraI2rAP8Tm-l07sOTYVIvKxXrg4G8tVUsa2g55OlNejukaenOfHEo8iMwaXN0ZT2Us8JeM4ylF0uTHUlFpZNQwsCSqtEO9M0w3WaA==&c=PB_y0gKQMklrs_LLdvdgFrG3MyxdCs6qRifG4eYchM87psiVQVAvUg==&ch=KvmGlWa6nKyF5y6NUxl96CIjGPzFXhe2WcYC1FzikgEyJMncVPckhQ==&jrc=1> is
hosting two listening sessions for soil moisture end users to share
their thoughts, wish lists, and out-of-the-box ideas about what types of
soil moisture products would best serve them.
Target participants include federal, regional, and state program staff;
state climatologists; water resource managers; extension agents; and any
others who are interested in products derived from soil moisture data,
whether it be from in situ mesonets, modeling outputs, and/or satellite
retrievals.
Participants can choose either July 13 or an identical session on July
22, both at 1-3 p.m. ET. Please register by Wednesday, July 7.
