Severe to extreme drought persists across Granville County

Regional reports describe critically low soil moisture and stream flows, delayed wheat planting, and severe hay shortages for a Fuquay-Varina farmer; none establishes Granville-specific impacts or restrictions. Durham’s latest reservoir estimate is 31% storage with about 81 days of water remaining. The new frost advisory excludes Granville, and no local forecast or rainfall update changes the county outlook.
