No, we are not in a drought again but it is getting dry across many parts of the state. It does not take long for a relentless June sun and mean ole thermometers stubbornly insisting to reach the 90s every day to dry out the topsoil
* Huntsville Airport no measurable rain in the last two weeks.
* Anniston much better off. Storms Sunday brought 0.62 bringing their total for June at the airport to 4.11 inches.
