Drought Deepens Across the Carolinas
Weather.com – 12/16/12, Meg Kinnard
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Conditions are dry across the Carolinas, and there may not be much relief in sight. Most of South Carolina is now in moderate or severe drought, and all of the state's 46 counties are now in some drought stage, according to the state agency that monitors the conditions. Drought conditions are moderate across more than half of North Carolina, primarily in the central part of the state.
On Tuesday, the South Carolina Drought Response Committee upgraded the drought status in every county by one level. Conditions were most dire in 12 of the state's western counties, where the drought was determined to be severe. The middle of the state was in moderate drought, while the eastern and coastal areas were the least severe.
