 And drought conditions are worsening in the Palmetto State. The U.S. Drought Monitor reporting this week that more than 70% of our state is in at least a moderate drought. This includes more than 15% of the state considered to be in a severe drought. That covers parts of Central and Northeastern South Carolina. And as a matter of fact, sweltering heat in our state today has several counties in the central part of the state under a heat advisory through 8 o'clock tonight.
