Only 0.70% of Lamoille County is in Moderate Drought (D1) or worse as of September 15-21, with the remainder classified as Abnormally Dry. The minimal drought footprint reflects the region's early-autumn moisture status; this represents no intensification from the prior two weeks, indicating conditions are stable despite the month's precipitation shortfall.
Mount Mansfield rainfall deficit points to lower streamflow

Month-to-date precipitation at Mount Mansfield station is 0.9 in, running 3.5 in below normal for this date. The Lamoille River at Johnson measured 134 cubic feet per second on September 22, near the week's low range but within recent variability. Below-normal rainfall in early fall typically translates to reduced base flow as groundwater recharge lags; this deficit suggests streamflow may continue to run lower than seasonal norms into early October without significant precipitation.
