The U.S. Drought Monitor map of New Hampshire released Thursday shows the northern half of the state still exhibiting drought conditions despite three days of solid rain. On the intensity scale, yellow signifies "abnormally dry" and tan means "moderate drought." (COURTESY  GRAPHIC)

CONCORD — Despite three solid days of rain this week, the valley remains abnormally dry and a moderate drought continues in much of central and southern parts of New Hampshire.

North Conway local cooperative weather observer Ed Bergeron said his home observation station off West Side Road recorded 3.84 inches of precipitation the last three days of June (Sunday-Tuesday), bringing the monthly total up to 4.25 inches, just below the 30-year average of 4.36 inches.
