Southeast Drought Summary

Much of the region remains free of drought, with pockets of D0 (abnormal dryness). The only exception is southern Florida, where D1 (moderate drought) remains. Showers and thunderstorms across the region held off potential degradations, but the precipitation wasn’t enough to make up remaining deficits of about 1.5 to 4 inches of rainfall.
