Although rainfall amounts in March slowed the deficit across north and central Georgia, April saw a return to the below normal rainfall pattern that had persisted for the better part of 2 years. The Center for Climate Prediction and the U.S. Agriculture Department both indicated a severe drought for nearly all of Georgia except the extreme northern portion. Rainfall amounts in April averaged less than an inch in central Georgia, less than 2 inches in west central Georgia and between 1.7 and 2.6 inches for much of north Georgia except the northwestern counties. Overall rainfall amounts for the past year are on the order of 12 to 15 inches below normal. Long-term precipitation anomalies since May 1998 show Georgia experiencing the 2nd driest such period statewide with over 20.5 inches below normal.
