Drought-like conditions still persist across areas in the Southeast, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Alabama has the most drought, including extreme conditions in the northwest corner of the state in Colbert and Lauderdale counties; and parts of Franklin, Lawrence and Limestone counties. Extreme drought is also reported in Northeast Alabama in Shelby, Talladega, Saint Clair, Blount, Calhoun, Etowah and Cherokee counties; and parts of Marshall and Dekalb.
Severe drought covers much of the northern part of the state, while abnormal and moderate drought blanket the central and southern part of Alabama.
Most of southern and eastern Georgia remains drought free. The driest conditions are still concentrated in the northern area of the state. Severe conditions are reported as far south as Carroll and Haralson counties and stretch northward to Dade and Walker counties, and as far east as Franklin, Hart, Elbert and Madison counties. Much of the central and western areas of Georgia are either moderately dry or abnormally dry.
Abnormally dry conditions remain in parts of the Florida Panhandle, starting in Escambia County and stretches eastward to Washington and Jackson counties. Some counties along the west coast of Florida have areas that remain in an extreme drought, including Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota counties.
