SOUTH MISSISSIPPI (WLOX) - Rain has often been hard to come by in many recent weeks in Coastal Mississippi. This has allowed for our drought to get worse and worse. In parts of Coastal Mississippi, the drought has now reached the worst level possible: ‘exceptional.' That's what the latest update from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows. 'Exceptional drought is the most severe drought with the worst conditions on record. It would only be expected to occur once or twice within a 100‐year period,' according to the National Drought Mitigation Center.
