Wet Spring Keeps Maryland Counties Record Wet
Frederick County has far exceeded average rainfall with 18.6 inches through mid May, and May totals near 3.79 inches. Washington County reports 26 inches this year, its wettest January–April on record, while weather expert Dewey Walston attributes the rain to a persistent low pressure system off the East Coast and ordinary spring weather, not El Niño. Temperatures in the 50s and 60s accompanied more showers as rivers rose but remained below flood levels.
