Weather Bureau experts say the jet stream has veered abnormally southward then northward, reducing rain and snowfall in the Northeast while boosting Midwest moisture and crop yields. Drought conditions persist from Delaware River Basin to New York and Pennsylvania, easing reservoirs to near record lows and prompting possible water restrictions.

Officials warn the grim situation may persist as engineers seek extra water sources.
