Alabama Drought Monitor Update
The Thursday drought monitor is in, and we are in about the same place we were last week. The area in abnormally dry conditions has increased to a little over 60%, but the moderate drought is about the same. However, this does not take into account the rain we saw late Tuesday night, so it is a bit deceiving.
Some rain is expected over the next 7 days, with generally 1/2-1″ over much of the state according to the days 1-7 QPF forecast from the Weather Prediction Center. This will further reduce the drought conditions, so we will likely see continued improvements with next weeks update.
