Drought in Lamar, Alabama

Drought level began September at Severe (D2) and persisted through the end of the month.

After much needed rainfall came across Central Alabama in late July and early August, another dry spell across Central Alabama again worsened drought conditions, with Severe (D2) conditions re-emerging by early September. Abundant rainfall associated with the remnants of Hurricane Francine on September 11-15 brought conditions below D2 status in most counties by September 17. However, D2 conditions persisted across Lamar and Pickens counties through the end of the month.
