The latest Drought Monitor, released today, shows that abnormally dry conditions have expanded to cover nearly all of the Southeast except the Florida peninsula this week due to the continued lack of rain through Tuesday, the cutoff period for the latest map. Drought conditions got worse in Alabama as well. Next week we may see some changes as heavy rain occurred over the past two days in parts of southeastern Georgia and South Carolina in some of the same places hit earlier by Debby and Helene. Puerto Rico did not show any changes in abnormally dry conditions from last week.
