Alabama Seeing More Drought Conditions
USAgNet - 05/26/2017

A streak of dry, warm, sunny days has caused Alabama's drought numbers to tick upward again. More than half of the state was dealing with some sort of drought this week, according to the latest report by the U.S. Drought Monitor.

That's still an improvement from just the beginning of the month, when 76.81 percent of the state was drier than it should be.

The Drought Monitor report is compiled each Tuesday and released on Thursday, and it shows slight increases in several categories.

According to the report 28.94 percent of the state was in moderate drought, and 1.19 percent in severe drought.

The driest spots in the state, according to the report, included parts of Tuscaloosa, Walker and Fayette counties. A sliver of Houston County in southeast Alabama was also in severe drought.

Wider areas in southeast Alabama and in west-central Alabama were also mired in moderate drought.

But some relief is on the way. Scattered rain and storms will be possible for the next few days across the state, with more widespread rain expected late Saturday into Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
