While most people have been focused on the wet conditions in the Carolinas and Virginia which eliminated a lot of drought last week, other areas of the Southeast have been getting drier.  Today the National Drought Monitor increased moderate drought in a small area of south-central Georgia and the western counties of Alabama due to lack of rainfall in those areas.  You can see clearer images of this comparison at https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/MapsAndData/WeeklyComparison.aspx or zoom in to state maps.
