**DROUGHT MONITORING TASK FORCE**

Drought Status Report

June 23, 2008

Statewide precipitation for the previous water year (October 1, 2006
through September 30, 2007) was below normal (81% of normal). Statewide
precipitation for the period from October 1, 2006 through June 20, 2008
was below normal (82% of normal). Statewide precipitation for the period
from January 1, 2008 through June 20, 2008 is in the normal range (88%
of normal). Precipitation greater than 85% of normal is considered to be
in the normal range. The period from June 1 through June 20 was
characterized by very dry conditions in areas in the southern portion of
the Commonwealth (south of Interstate 64) and resulted in below normal
statewide precipitation (76% of normal). The following drought
evaluation regions are currently below normal for the period beginning
October 1, 2006; Big Sandy (73%), New River (78%), Roanoke (78%), Upper
James (81%), Northern Piedmont (81%), Northern Coastal Plain (83%) and
York-James (84%). Cumulative precipitation deficits for the period
beginning October 1, 2006 increased slightly percentage points across
the Commonwealth since the last report. The Middle James, Shenandoah,
Northern Virginia, Chowan, Southeast Virginia and Eastern Shore drought
evaluation areas currently are in the normal range of precipitation for
this extended period. Appendix A contains precipitation tables for
periods dating to October 1, 2006. The long-range monthly climatologic
outlook calls for equal chances of below normal, normal and above normal
precipitation and temperatures for the Commonwealth through July of
2008. The long-range seasonal outlook calls for equal chances of below
normal, normal and above normal precipitation for the Commonwealth
through September 2008. The long range seasonal outlooks calls for above
normal temperatures in the eastern two thirds of the Commonwealth and
for equal chances of below normal, normal and above normal temperatures
for the western third of the Commonwealth through September 2008

The latest NOAA drought monitor indicates intensification of drought
conditions in the western and southern portions of the Commonwealth
during the last month and is included as Appendix B. Appendix C contains
information from the national drought monitor with only Virginia
displayed. Currently almost 25% of the Commonwealth is experiencing
drought conditions, a three fold increase since May 19. The NOAA
seasonal drought outlook through September 2008 indicates that drought
conditions are likely to persist in southwest Virginia. The seasonal
drought outlook is included as Appendix D.

Seven day average streamflows for June 21 are below normal in the
majority of the Commonwealth. Areas in the New, upper Roanoke, and
Chowan river basins are exhibiting flows indicative of severe drought
conditions (\< 5^th^ percentile). While drought monitoring ground water
levels data is scarce, ground water levels are generally in the lower
range of expected water levels in areas east of Route 95 and are
generally lower than normal in the area west of Route 95. Ten dedicated
drought monitoring wells are at levels indicative of normal ground water
levels, seven are at levels indicative of moderate hydrologic drought
(10^th^ to 24^th^ percentiles), and two are at levels indicative of
severe hydrologic drought conditions (\< 10^th^ percentile) . Ground
water levels in the vast majority of dedicated monitoring wells have
shown decreases in water levels in the last month due to a relatively
short period of very high temperatures and low precipitation. Levels of
most large reservoirs have remained near normal over the last month but
inflows have dropped significantly, especially for those reservoirs
located in the western half of the Commonwealth.

While the Virginia Department of Health has not reported any impacts to
public water supplies that have compromised their ability to provide the
needs of their customers' 22 systems remain on voluntary water
conservation requirements and 4 systems remain on mandatory water
conservation requirements. Appendix E contains a table of waterworks
that includes systems that have initiated water conservation
requirements.

The Department of Forestry reports that increasing drought intensity has
resulted in an increase in the number of lighting caused wildfires over
the last two weeks. Since the beginning of the second week of June, the
agency has responded to 34 wildfires which have burned just over 900
acres. The agency has also provided assistance to 7 other significant
fires on federal lands in Virginia, all caused by lightning. Although
lightning is normally only responsible for around 1 % of the wildfires
in Virginia in a given year, dry forest fuel conditions caused by an
extended period of less than normal rainfall makes conditions much more
favorable for lightning caused wildfires. The agency expects this trend
to continue until significant rainfall can return fuel moisture levels
into the normal ranges. Statewide, Keetch-Byram drought indices (KBDI)
as measured at the agency's six regional offices range from 277 to 530.
The normal range for this time of year is in the 100 - 200 range. In
rough terms, it takes about one inch of rainfall to lower the index by
100 points. The agency is fully prepared to respond to the developing
summertime fire situation in the Commonwealth and is not expecting a
significant change in the current situation anytime in the near future.

The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries reports that all
boating access facilities are open with the exception of those where
maintenance and repairs are underway (check web-site at
[www.dgif.virginia.gov](http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/) ). River flows
across the Commonwealth are varied however the larger rivers remain
available for recreational users and reservoir levels remain stable. 
The trout stocking program suffered from low flows in 2007 that resulted
in smaller and fewer fish produced at the Department\'s hatcheries.  The
spring 2008 rainfall events provided good flows for stocking and
fishing, and the hatcheries are in full production with next years fish
(Coursey Springs Hatchery is closed for renovations through 2008).
Additional rainfall events in the near future are needed to insure
continued recreation and fish production through the summer.  Current
stream flows in several river basins are slightly below normal with
rivers in the far southwestern part of the Commonwealth particularly
impacted.  Many boaters and anglers are choosing to stay closer to home
for their recreation this summer, and areas near population centers are
being heavily utilized while recreation is down in rural areas and
\"destination\" locations. 

The intensity of drought impacts has increased during the last month due
to a relatively short period of record high temperatures coupled with
below normal rainfall. The lower than normal ground water levels,
especially in the western portions of the Commonwealth, have resulted in
very rapid decreases in streamflows. These below normal streamflows
raise concerns regarding future reservoir conditions, especially in the
western half of the Commonwealth. It should also be noted that the areas
that are currently experiencing drought conditions in western Virginia
are the same areas that experienced the greatest agricultural drought
impacts last year. It is important to remember that localized drought
impacts, particularly agricultural drought impacts, are a normal
occurrence in an "average" Virginia summer.

Reports from the Climatology Office of the University of Virginia, the
National Weather Service, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, and
the United States Geological Survey follow.

**Report of the Climatology Office of the University of Virginia**

As expected for this time of year, the last thirty days have seen widely
varying amounts of precipitation across the Commonwealth. This is the
nature of rainfall from thunderstorm activity, which usually proves to
be the most common rainfall source during the summer. Even in cases
where the thunderstorm activity is formed into organized lines (as has
been experienced earlier this month), these rarely sweep across the
entire state and rainfall totals from embedded storms can cover a large
range of values.

Coupling this uncertain rainfall pattern with the seasonally high rates
of evaporation and transpiration (water consumption by plants), a
complex pattern of rainfall deficit or surplus can emerge even within a
given Drought Evaluation Region. If rainfall amounts and temperatures
were both normal across all regions, a considerable net loss of moisture
would still occur during the summer. As such, the prospects of
sufficient rainfall to penetrate past topsoil layers before being lost
are poor. Groundwater reserves are not be expected to receive widespread
replenishment until the end of the growing season.

Early June was marked by a period of high temperatures rarely seen so
early in the year. This contributed to increased evapo-transpiration.
Although not necessarily linked by identifiable atmospheric processes,
there is a statistical tendancy for such early extremes to be reflected
in temperature averages for the remainder of the summer. The
longer-range outlooks (through September) from NOAA suggest temperatures
somewhat above normal, but give little useful guidance regarding
precipitation.

As the summer progresses, there is an increasing likelihood that
tropical cyclone activity will bring precipitation to the Commonwealth.
Since this hurricane season is forecast to be more active than average,
tropical systems (or their remnants) may yet be an important factor in
summer water availability.

**Report of the National Weather Service**

The 6-10 day and 8-14 day outlooks both suggest the potential for above
normal precipitation. Any potential benefits from additional
precipitation will probably be counteracted by predicted above normal
temperatures in the same time periods. During the last 30 days areas
along and north if Interstate 64 have fared much better than areas south
of this region. Several areas of thunderstorms have moved across this
area, providing enough rain to at least maintain the status quo from
May. However, the southern 1/3 to 1/4 of VA has missed much of this
rainfall, and conditions have dried significantly. At present, the mid
and long term forecast do not suggest a trend toward wetter conditions,
with the 30 to 90 day outlooks showing no trend toward either drier
than, wetter than or near normal conditions. Should the trends of the
last 3-4 weeks persist, conditions in southern Virginia are expected to
deteriorate significantly over the next 30 days, as even normal rainfall
would result in a moisture deficit due to high seasonal
evapo-transpiration rates. It should be noted that longer term
precipitation forecasts tend to have very high errors, so an error on
the wet side is certainly possible, especially if any tropical influence
occurs.

**Status of Agricultural Drought**

According to the USDA Crop Weather Report released on June 16, 2008, 92%
of topsoil moisture ranged from adequate to surplus. Despite scattered
showers this week, most of Virginia continued to suffer from drought
stress. Early May produced adequate rainfall for planting and
establishment of new crops. However, the unusually warm weather near the
end of May and the extreme heat over the last few weeks have caused
considerable concern for the new crops. Corn is perhaps the crop most in
need of rainfall. The corn crop improved slightly in areas that
experienced the recent light showers. However, twisting and drought
stress has slowed growth. Pastures in the Southeastern portions of the
state are also very dry. While recent weather has been perfect for wheat
harvesting, many growers are very concerned that without rainfall in the
next few days we could see another year of significant agricultural
drought issues. The quality of hay not yet cut diminished due to the
heat and lack of water. Most of the full season soybeans are planted.

[Impact on the Dairy Industry]{.underline}

Many dairymen did not fertilize hay crops as much as usual because of
the very high prices for nitrogen and potash. In cases where adequate
fertilizer was used, spring hay crop yield was above normal.

[Impact on Crops]{.underline}

South Central Virginia: Even though there have been some scattered
thundershowers in the region during the past few days, the overall soil
moisture condition is dry. Crop conditions have not been negatively
affected to a great degree to this point. The tobacco crop is probably
in average condition for this time of year, although a few growers have
started to irrigate. The spring hay crop yielded well. Wheat harvest is
underway with good yields being reported. Planting of double crop
soybeans following wheat harvest could be negatively affected if
reasonable rainfall is not received.

Southwest Virginia: The recent rains in Southwestern Virginia have
helped ease the current situation but producers are hopeful that cooler
temperatures and more moisture is on the way. The first cuttings of hay
have been of good quality and yields.

Wheat crops: The wheat crop looks very good as harvest has just begun.
Dry conditions throughout harvest would be ideal as the test weight
would remain high. Rainy conditions now could drive test weights down
leading to price discounts for producers.

[Impact on Streams and Wells]{.underline}

Recent rains temporarily swelled small streams, creeks and rivers, but
water levels quickly returned to below normal indicating low ground
water levels. Southwest Virginia producers report that creeks and rivers
are lower than they were late last summer.

[Waivers for Hauling of Emergency Supplies Extended]{.underline}

Temporary waivers of registration and license requirements along with
normal weight and width restrictions for carriers transporting emergency
supplies of hay or animal feed expired on June 15, 2008

**Virginia Department of Environmental Quality**

**Condition of Major Reservoirs**

Although overall most major reservoirs are full or near full, inflows
are declining precipitously in the south central and south west part of
the state. Water levels are starting to fall at rates that are cause for
concern this early in the summer.

The watershed of Smith Mountain Lake is probably the driest basin in the
state at the current time. Although the lake is only 10 inches below
full pond, it is falling at a rate of half a foot every 10 days. A
stakeholder's conference call on lake and river levels was held on June
19, 2008 to discuss the situation. No action was taken other than to set
a meeting again on June 30, 2008. Further upstream in the very dry
Roanoke River watershed, Carvins Cove and Spring Hollow Reservoirs, the
water supply for much of the Roanoke area, are at 84 and 87 per cent of
useable storage capacity, respectively, which is adequate for this time
of year but represents a notable decrease in storage over the last
thirty days.

Philpott Lake, also in the driest part of the State, is 1.4 feet below
the guide curve at the start of the recreation season. This lake will
continue to Fall below the guide curve unless the Corps of Engineers
decides to intervene and reduce power production from this project. Kerr
Reservoir has fallen two feet so far this month but is still about 0.4
feet above guide curve. The release decision is made on a weekly basis
following discussions with a drought monitoring work group.

Further north in the State things are better, Lake Anna is full. The
Lake Moomaw project in the headwaters of the James is 93% full. The
often vulnerable Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority system is 99% full.

**United States Geological Survey**

**Streamflow and Ground Water Levels**

Stream gages in the northeast portion of the State (Shenandoah, Potomac,
Rappahannock, and York River Basins) are recording flow the normal range
for statistics based on historic June flows. Above normal precipitation
in May and continued precipitation from thunderstorms associated with
frontal passages in the northern half of the State in June have kept
streamflows in the normal to above normal range for most of the month.

Stream gages in the remainder of the State are recording flows in the
below normal and well below normal ranges. Streamflows are statistically
lowest in the Roanoke and Kanawha River Basins. Graphs of current flow
conditions plotted over flow-duration statistics show flow recessions
that are steeper than normal at gages in these two basins. The rapid
recessions of streamflow indicate that ground-water storage in these
areas is low. Precipitation from thunderstorms in these areas has been
scattered.

Ground-water wells in the southern half of the State generally show
levels well below normal while wells in the northern half of the State
generally show levels in the normal range.

Streamflow conditions based on daily values for June 22 are presented in
Appendix F. Area summaries of 7-day average streamflows from the USGS
drought watch web page show similar flow conditions and are presented in
Appendix G. Current conditions are generally higher than depicted by
seven day average stream flows as flows continue to increase due to the
recent significant precipitation events. Ground water levels based on
conditions on June 22 are presented in Appendix H.
