Lots of folks across the middle of Alabama, from Cullman County southward to Autauga County have been very dry recently.
In fact, most of the five county Birmingham metro area have only received 10-25% of their typical rainfall over the past 30 days.

These areas need 1-2 inches of rain just to make up for the short-term deficits.
The GFS predicts 3-4 inches of rain over the next 16 days. We will keep our fingers crossed.

The good news is that of last week, no part of Alabama was in full scale drought conditions. Abnormally dry conditions, according to the Drought Monitor, extend in a big backwards “C”, across Jefferson and Shelby Counties, over to and down the Georgia border into the Wiregrass of Southeast Alabama.
