BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Alabama is slowly emerging from the
grips of a devastating drought, but experts warn it could get worse
again. For the past 18 months, the state has been dealing with the
effects of dry weather.
On Thursday, the National Drought Monitor Survey reported that
17 percent of Alabama is drought-free. But the rest of the state
remains mired in some stage of drought, with 22 percent classified
in the D-2 or severe category. That area is confined to the
Northeastern portion of the state.
Experts said low rainfall amounts could make conditions worse in
the Southern section of Alabama in the weeks to come.
