TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — We’ve had a soggy couple of weeks, and while it may have dampened outdoor plans, it’s certainly been good for the Drought Monitor.

Just a few weeks ago, we were discussing moderate to severe drought conditions across the Big Bend and South Georgia.

Thanks to our rainy afternoons (and some mornings), things have improved—only a few spots remain classified as “dry.”

Keep in mind that the next Drought Monitor will be released on June 12 at 8:30 AM.

It will reflect rainfall amounts and their impacts on drought from this past week.

On Tuesday alone, we recorded 1–2″ of rain over those still-dry areas.

With nearly daily rain over the last week, we could see even more improvement!
