Most of the state is in some sort of drought.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - It’s no secret at this point that Alabama needs rainfall. Many locations, including Montgomery, have not seen measurable rain in nearly 20 days. Combine that with plenty of early fall warmth and the result has been expanding drought concerns.
Most of Alabama has seen very dry conditions, above normal temperatures, breezy afternoons, and ample sunshine since roughly mid-September. The result? Quickly expanding drought conditions from Mobile to Huntsville and all places in-between. Regular droughts take time to settle in, whereas flash droughts develop in less than a month’s time. Flash droughts can last for a few months or even years. Regular droughts are usually long-lasting events with impacts felt for months to years.Since flash droughts settle in quickly they are often very problematic for agriculture and economies. The effects can be particularly significant in the agriculture department depending on the time of year.
