Conditions here are severely dry. We received slightly over one inch of rain this week, the most substantial rain in nearly a month. Our NC Piedmont region is still in a "drought condition" and we really need the rain. The ground is somewhat more moist and should lower the fire danger. Grass and golf fairways have " greened up." Small creeks and streams are still dry and Lake Jordon water levels are down several feet. The Haw River is flowing at a low level.
