CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The weekly drought monitor came out Thursday morning with portions of the area being upgraded to a “Severe Drought,” The rest of the area is at a “Moderate Drought.“
This is due to the hot and dry streak we saw with USDA reporting topsoil moisture on June 4th was 95% (anything over 50% is dry).
We do have a wet weather pattern through the next 5 days that will help, but drought conditions will not be updated until next Thursday.
