Recent rain? Yes. End of drought? No

The recent rain doesn't mean the end of Georgia's drought. The latest drought recap from the National Weather Service spells good news for Northwest Georgia, a region that is no longer experiencing a drought.

But the news is not so good for other parts of the state. A big section of northeast Georgia is still under a severe drought. And certain counties in metro Atlanta are still in an extreme drought, including DeKalb, Gwinnett and sections of Forsyth, Hall, and Walton counties.
