Mobile, Alabama: The U.S. Drought Monitor reported Thursday that all of Alabama is now classified in drought, with nearly half the state in D3–D4 extreme to exceptional categories; similar intensification this week affected North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, where officials reported expanding severe and extreme drought. The findings draw on federal drought maps and local utility reports. Charlotte, North Carolina: Duke Energy said the region recorded its driest six-month stretch since 1971, with October–March rainfall about 53% below long-term averages and Charlotte 7.63 inches below normal as of April 23. Municipalities such as Warner Robins declared Level 1 drought this week, prompting conservation outreach while forecasts predict limited rain Saturday and again Monday into Tuesday.
