The latest Drought Monitor came out today and shows that a large area of northeast Georgia plus a sliver of adjoining South Carolina is now classified as D1, moderate drought. Small areas in western Virginia also received a D1 classification this week. The drought declaration was not surprising considering the lack of rainfall in recent weeks, but also reflects longer-term dryness as shown in the radar-estimated radar for the year to date from https://water.weather.gov/precip/.
