The latest 7-day QPF forecast shows that all of the region will see some rain this week but most areas will receive only about an inch, which will not be enough to keep plants well hydrated in hot conditions. The wettest state will be North Carolina, and the driest areas will be southwest Georgia and the Florida panhandle. The rain will mainly come in the form of scattered showers, so there could be a lot of variability in what falls depending on where the storms go. This will continue through the week. Week 2 shows cooler and wetter conditions are likely to return to northern parts of the region but Florida and adjoining areas have a continuing chance of hotter than normal conditions. This pattern is predicted to continue into Weeks 3 and 4.
