Welcome to the start of meteorological spring!
This week has been quite gloomy, with daily chances of rain. Even so, we’re currently running a slight rainfall surplus for March. Unfortunately, much of the state remains in a Level 2 out of 5 (moderate) drought. Conditions worsen the farther west you go, while they gradually improve across Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
This drought stems from a prolonged rainfall deficit over the past several months. Since August 2025, we’ve accumulated a precipitation shortfall of 9.74 inches.
The good news? Mother Nature looks ready to bring plenty of rain over the next couple of weeks.
