Rain, rain, don't go away
One of Monday's Short Stack items.
It's hard to tell looking at the U.S. Drought Monitor map, but a tiny portion of North Carolina is no longer in a drought. The latest information, released Thursday, shows the area around Morehead City still dry but no longer suffering a drought. Unfortunately that's only about 1.2 percent of the state.
It's the first time in about seven months that a part of the state has not been in a drought.
Our area, though, remains in the worst category: exceptional drought. So let's hope that the prediction for thunderstorms later this week for Greensboro is correct.
