South Carolina Drought Worsens Amid Heat

South Carolina’s in a parched crisis—with every county under drought and the hottest weekend yet on the horizon. The worst hit? The coast, where extreme drought grips the Grand Strand and Pee Dee regions, leaving Horry, Florence, and Williamsburg with bone-dry soil. Even Orangeburg and Dorchester feel the strain. While the Midlands and Upstate got a May reprieve thanks to rain, the rest of the state braces for 100-degree heat. A glimmer of hope? Possible rain this weekend.
