The latest Drought Monitor, released today, shows that there have been slight expansions of drought in North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia this week due to lack of rainfall, while the other states did not change. Puerto Rico saw a slight decrease in dry conditions this week. Rainfall amounts the next few days should be relatively light except for in southern Florida, so drought may expand again in next week’s map, especially since temperatures should be relatively warm. After that, wetter conditions are predicted to return.
