That's a very real question given the current synoptic setup.  With the dry high pressure currently overhead we'll be lucky to even see clouds the next couple of days, much less some needed rain.  Then Earl approaches the East Coast the latter part of the week, and if he stays offshore as forecast (see below) we may be hurting for rain for a while longer.

This graphic shows Earl departing our area just ahead of a cold front that might otherwise produce showers and storms for us.  However, the sinking air behind him will suppress frontal rainfall in our area as seen above, and our next forecast chance of rain doesn't materialize until late NEXT week.  That would mean at least two weeks of very dry conditions if Earl completely bypasses us.  I suppose we could keep our fingers crossed for rain from Fiona, the latest tropical system in a series of disturbances plowing across the Atlantic, but she's a bigger unknown than Earl at this juncture.  Looks like the rivers and lakes will continue to dwindle for a while longer.
