MARYLAND — The weekly drought monitor was released on Thursday, and we are seeing the drought we experience in Maryland growing now.
The moderate drought category (level 2 out of 5) is now covering 66% of the state, a 22% increase from last week.
While we have seen a few drops recently we are still missing almost 6 inches of rain since January 1st.
Luckily, we do have a chance to recover some of the missing rain but we need a more consistent pattern of rain to truly make a dent in the deficit.
Hopefully May will turn it around and flip the pattern for us and we can see more rain.
