Maryland
Month-By-Month Summer Forecast Released For MD
The competing signals are one reason NOAA is approaching the forecast with caution.
“Overall, temperature and precipitation tools offer either weak or conflicting signals,” Pugh said.
For Maryland residents, the outlook suggests that temperatures and precipitation will be near normal this summer.
NOAA’s forecast offers some encouraging news for areas still dealing with drought conditions. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, most of Maryland is dealing with severe drought, while others are experiencing extreme to exceptional drought conditions, and NOAA’s Seasonal Drought Outlook calls for conditions to improve through the end of August.
While forecasters expect the Northeast’s most active severe weather period to fall, as usual, in June and July, NOAA does not issue seasonal severe weather outlooks.
