Scattered rain showers across the Southeast improved the dry conditions in the worst-hit drought areas this week. The latest Drought Monitor shows that extreme drought was removed from northeast Georgia as well as reduced in northern Alabama and metro Atlanta. Overall, the area of dry conditions increased slightly, mostly along the east coast of Florida. No big changes are expected in the coming week, although there may be some impacts from Invest 99L, depending on what path it takes through the Southeast over the weekend and into next week.
Growing Georgia also noted that additional counties in Georgia have received a drought designation from the recent drought. You can read the article and see the list of counties here.
