TS Fay and Drought Relief
There is good news and bad news about Tropical Storm Fay. On the bad side it has caused a surprising number of deaths, plus significant property damage. I don't want to take anything away from any of the preceding, because that is awful stuff.
Nevertheless, there is some mildly positive news in here. Compare the 7-day precipitation map for the U.S. southeast with the UNL drought monitor map. As these figures show, the storm had a hydrologically useful post-Florida trajectory.
