The latest Drought Monitor, released this morning, shows that abnormally dry (D0) conditions expanded in southern Alabama and in southern Florida this week in response to a lack of rain in those areas. The small area of severe (D2) drought in the Florida panhandle remains unchanged from last week. With the current pattern keeping the main storm track to the north this week, we could see a further expansion of D0 on next week’s map.
