Drought expected to hold firm

Experts say there is no end in sight for Georgia's drought. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers predicts continued below-normal rainfall in parts of the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa and Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River basins. The Corps says the lower portions of the basins have benefited the most from this year's storm season. But the northern reservoirs of the basins did not receive the same benefits from these storms, and conditions haven't improved in North Georgia.
