A WET 2018 TO REMEMBER (OR FORGET!)
As 2018 comes to a close, we will finally put behind us a season that will be remembered for being the wettest in history. According to the NOAA website, from May through July 2018, much of the East Coast, especially the Mid-Atlantic, has been observing rain up to 300% of normal. By June and July, the epicenter for heaviest rains became focused over the Mid-Atlantic, as monthly rains near Washington, D.C. through central Pennsylvania easily eclipsed 200% of normal.
To put some actual rainfall numbers out there, from June 1 through August 13, Baltimore, Maryland, observed over 23 inches of rain, a total over 250% more than normal. Washington, D.C., meanwhile, saw rains over 180% of normal at the same time. The rains in Maryland have been so heavy that, statewide, the May-July period was the wettest in state history (124 years), with July becoming the second wettest July on record.
Let's hope this trend doesn't continue into the winter because we will be up to our eyeballs with snow! Thanks for your partnership this year and we look forward to a prosperous (and dry!) 2019!
