Conditions are moderately dry, central North Carolina is currently in a "moderate drought condition." We are far behind the "normal" rainfall average. Some mixed snow and rain is predicted for tomorrow, however next week will again be cold and dry. The "red flag" warnings against out door fires are still in effect. Forest "duff", grass and leaf litter is very dry and small streams are drying up. The last several days have been clear, cold and windy, not many people out for daily walks. Lake Jordon water levels are declining are attributed to the lack of rainfall and dam water outfall operations.
