▲ Why this matters

Watauga County is back in moderate drought after a week of scattered rain across the state mostly missed us. Some parts of North Carolina got relief. We did not. A year of dry conditions is the actual story here, not the rain that fell somewhere else. The county remains stuck in abnormally dry to moderate drought status heading into late summer.
