The Southeast US drought map as of today. My region of Western NC is in one of the regions of extreme drought. El Niño will not make any of this better.

Interactive, can get down to individual counties.

@czarbucks It’s pretty bad yes. For my exact area (and surrounding areas), we are VERY lucky to currently have missed it — zero drought level here. The 2 lakes that provide my greater area with water are 91% and 101% full. With quite a bit of rain in the 2 week forecast. It’s weird having this little pocket of non-drought, and in Texas of all places. But I’m grateful!
