Northeastern drought to persist amid light predicted rainfall
The Northeast faces a fourth year of drought with lawns brown and pastures parched as weather officials warn no substantial change this summer. Lawn bans and car-washing limits remain in effect in many cities and a light shower offered little relief. New York City restaurants face water restrictions, while New Jersey communities continue bans on sprinkling and washing. Farmers report dried pastures and dwindling hay supplies as the forecast through July 15 shows only limited relief. Authorities caution that any rain would be insufficient to alter the overall dry pattern.
