Key Highlights:
• Precipitation in 2023 was relatively normal, however dry periods occurred in May, October and November. In June, Pennsylvania counties were placed in drought watch and were removed at different times as conditions improved.
• The year ended with above normal precipitation in December, resulting in significant flooding in lower basin tributaries.
• Groundwater levels were below normal for most of the year but improved by December.
• The salt front was between RM 59 and RM 72 during the year until mid-December, when higher flows moved the salt front below RM 54, below which its location is not calculated. The most upstream location of the salt front was RM 71.8 on November 22.
