All of the rain that we have gotten in the last week has resulted in significant improvement of drought conditions across large parts of the Southeast. Every state has seen reductions in drought, and more is likely this week with the next storm coming through on Friday. Even Alabama, which is still mostly covered by drought, has seen a lot areas improve by one category. Puerto Rico, on the other hand, has seen an increase in moderate drought (D1) due to lack of rainfall there.
