But they did extend the exceptional to more of the SAV area as NorthHills predicted. However, if the forecasts verify well, even this area will improve some there on next week’s map.

I’m not going to lie I think this map is overdoing the drought in upstate and SW mountains. All week the news stations were saying 12-15” in that area was needed in a month to end the drought and a large part of that area got 6”+ last week with more from a few weeks ago and some isolated areas in SW mountains picked up 12-15”! No I wouldn’t Think it would “end” the drought but with that much rain I easily would’ve expected some areas to drop to “moderate”. Unfortunately going forward looks exceptionally dry for the areas in extreme drought in northern half of NC so missing this rainfall has likely doomed us to see rapidly worsening conditions over next couple weeks, again. In spite of rain, falls lake has continued to drop as very little fell upstream and water use has continued to increase. Cooler weather will be only saving grace here. Looks like SC and Georgia continue to get beneficial rains this week though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
