The weekly report from the U.S. Drought monitor indicates roughly two-thirds of the state from central to eastern Connecticut not showing any drought intensity.
Most of western Connecicut and the immediate shoreline is still classified as abnormally dry.
A small portion of northwestern Fairfield County and southwestern Litchfield County are still classified as being in a "moderate drought".
Several rounds of rain in September and October have helped to alleviate the dry conditions.
This comes on the heels of a hot, arid summer that impacted farmers and forced some cities and towns to undertake water conservation measures.
