Much of North Georgia “Abnormally Dry”
The latest drought report, as of July 14th, lists just over one third of the state of Georgia as being abnormally dry, including metro Atlanta and Gwinnett. This is despite the one to three inches of rain that fell on Sunday. While this may seem ominous, keep in mind that a year ago over half the state was in a severe drought.
The other bit of good news is that the drought outlook isn’t calling for any drought to develop east of the Mississippi River through October. There’s a better than even chance for precipitation tonight and tomorrow, and both the 6-10 and 8-14 day precipitation outlooks for Georgia are calling for wetter then normal weather.
In addition, both the one month and three month outlooks for August and August through October are calling for equal chances of above and below normal temperature and precipitation.
