The Charlotte area is getting a very good soaking rain today which absolutely should help. Keep in mind with the trees now dropping leaves, they are not soaking up nearly as much water and most of the rainfall is soaking in straight to the water table.Interesting it took a whole year it seems to actually get a drought that could be problematic if conditions continued.. rain today will be nice but not enough .. now the coastal will certainly be a nice gulp for Eastern portions of this area and certainly could help them.. Charlotte could be the new hot spot once that’s over. Regardless don’t see drought being a major problem like it hasn’t been for a while but still would like to see at least one rain producer every week to keep this in check.
