Drought conditions continue
Local perspective:
The drought is going to keep building, especially across the Gulf Coast and Panhandle.
East coast folks got a little break from last week's rain, but most of the state is drying out fast.
Bottom line: Great week ahead for outdoor activities if you like the sun and heat, but be careful of fire danger and remember to conserve water as things heat up and dry out.
