Alabama Drought, Florida Dry Areas Increase

By Pam Knox
 
The latest Drought Monitor, released this morning, shows that a second area of moderate drought has been added to Alabama this week along with an expansion of last week’s drought. Abnormally dry areas have also expanded. In Florida, more than half the state is now considered to be in abnormally dry conditions after receiving little rain for the past few weeks. Areas of abnormally dry conditions decreased in South Carolina, Georgia, and Puerto Rico. Florida is expected to receive some good rain this week, so that area of abnormally dry conditions may not last for long.
