Winter rains lift South Carolina from drought stage
The South Carolina Drought Response Committee lifted the incipient drought designation as statewide rainfall returned conditions toward normal. Assistant State Climatologist Wes Tyler noted varied rain, with a lengthy period from December 20 to Christmas Eve providing a statewide soaking. Forecasters expect rainfall to continue near normal and reservoirs to stay near target levels, easing drought concerns since the last statewide drought in 2007.
