Drought Persists Despite Brief Rain

Drought conditions in Charlottesville and Albemarle County barely improved after a brief May rainstorm, leaving the region still in extreme drought.

While reservoirs remain full thanks to mild temperatures, officials warn against complacency: water usage must be monitored closely, and consistent rainfall later this year is crucial for real recovery.
