Rainfall amounts from 8 AM 5/20/2026 through 8 AM 5/26/2026. These amounts should help with the ongoing drought.

Torrential rainfall is falling across the county tonight with flood advisories issued. I expect those will need an upgrade to a Flash Flood Warning later on as this slug of heavy rain continues to move over the county. An additional 1-3 inches of rain is possible on top of what has already fallen.

This rain starts to lift out to the north and east after Midnight.

Burke County is now under Stage 2 water restrictions.

That means this is no longer voluntary; we need everyone to start cutting back.

Hereโ€™s what that looks like:

Reduce your water use by about 10%
Only water lawns twice a week between 8PM and 8AM
No washing driveways or sidewalks
No washing personal vehicles at home

We didnโ€™t get here overnight, and we wonโ€™t get out of it overnight either. Conditions are still dry, and this step helps protect our water supply for what matters most.

If conditions get worse, restrictions will tighten; thatโ€™s not where we want to go.

Do your part now so we donโ€™t have to go there.

Weโ€™ll keep you updated.
