The northwestern portion of Hall County remains among the driest places in the state, according to this week’s report from the U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM).
That area, bordering White, Lumpkin, and parts of Dawson and Forsyth counties, is considered “severely” dry, which is true of most of northeast Georgia, while “moderately” dry conditions blanket the rest of the county.
Thirteen percent of the state remains drought-free. Those counties are clustered in belt through the middle of Georgia extending from Augusta-to-Macon-to-Columbus.
