Drought conditions have overtaken almost all of the Carolinas, with 99% of North Carolina at least 'abnormally dry' and moderate drought affecting the northern and eastern parts of the state. The US Drought Monitor has confirmed that a significant portion of North Carolina is experiencing drought. Scattered showers and storms are expected over the next few days, but they will not be sufficient to alleviate the drought. The Lowcountry, including parts of Berkeley, Colleton, and Dorchester counties, is also slipping into a moderate drought. Despite some rain expected through early next week, the overall prospect for widespread rain remains bleak. #cltwx #wcnc #chswx
The showers and storms this afternoon were nice, but we need more! The Lowcountry is starting to slip into a drought. Parts of Berkeley, Colleton and Dorchester counties are in a "moderate" drought. Expect more afternoon storms possible through at least early next week. #chswx https://t.co/XJvFFvpUvn
Enjoy every bit of rain you can get today because many areas are officially in drought now. After today's good chance of storms, the prospect for widespread rain looks bleak through the weekend at least. #scwx #ncwx https://t.co/AKj1lYmXKt
Well, it's dry. A good chunk of NC is in drought. The US Drought Monitor updated this AM. We'll continue building deeper into drought despite the chance for showers and storms in the coming days. #ncwx #wncwx https://t.co/9ou5vOFJWF
#Drought conditions have overtaken almost all of the Carolinas. Savor every drop of the scattered showers and storms we get over the next few days. It won't be enough, but at least it's something. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc https://t.co/zarrUWgEeY
This won't come as much of a surprise, but 99% of North Carolina is at least "abnormally dry." A moderate drought in the northern/eastern parts of the state. Good news is we have some higher chances for rain the next few days. #ncwx https://t.co/MNiCBYuXLj
