Central Maryland now in agricultural drought
Most of Central Maryland, incuding Baltimore and the surrounding counties, are now, officially, experiencing a moderate agricultural drought (tan on the map), according to the Drought Monitor map released Thursday by NOAA.
Portions of southern Anne Arundel County, Calvert and small sections of Prince George's, Charles and St. Mary's counties, are coping with severe drought (orange), according to the map.
Only Garrett County continues to enjoy normal conditions. The rest of the state (yellow)is rated as "abnormally dry."
In all, 64 percent of Maryland is now classified as being in drought, up from 37 percent last week. About 4 percent is in severe drought for the first time this year.
