A more wet, active pattern over the Southeast has led to improvements in #drought conditions over the past two week, with some locations even seeing two class improvements.
The past week or so has seen welcome rain over the Southeast, which provided a little bit of much needed #drought relief. Even with the recent rain though, drought conditions remain and more rain will be needed to achieve total drought relief.

Much of the Southeast received several inches of rain over the past 24 hours. While it's not enough rain to end the drought, it will help keep conditions from worsening in many locations.
Be prepared for hurricane season by knowing what to do during a storm. Whether you’ve evacuated or are sheltering in place, know what to expect from the hazards you may face. #HurricanePrep#HurricaneStrong

An atmospheric pattern change is starting to bring welcome rain to parts of the Southeast, providing slight relief to areas of heaviest rainfall. However, we'll need several of these events before we start to see improvements in the extreme and exceptional drought areas.
The US Drought Monitor(https://t.co/vxCE63qi05), expanded exceptional drought designation in GA and FL. With over 99% of the SERFC area in moderate drought or higher, we're looking forward to any amount of upcoming rain, even if significant drought relief is not expected.
Take a look at the Apr SERFC Water Resources Outlook where we expand on the current hydrologic conditions across the Southeast. This month, there is additional focus on the worsening #drought conditions and how those conditions might evolve moving forward. https://t.co/1R3tmdHIHS
Without any significant relief, #drought conditions persist over the Southeast, especially in southern GA and the Big Bend of FL. Streams are feeling the impact, with flows at many stream gages in the D4 area at an all-time low for this day. @NWSTallahassee@NWSJacksonville

Heading into the ❄️winter❄️ season, #snow is on a lot of people's minds. At SERFC, snow is on our minds for reasons other than sledding and snowmen.☃️ Check out the image below to see the processes we have to consider that impact snowmelt and consequently, our river forecasts. 🔎
Parts of the Southeast are expected to receive 3-6 inches of rain this weekend bringing a slight risk of severe weather and possible flash flooding. However, chances of river flooding remain limited. Please refer to your local NWS office for updates.
