Baltimore, MD – Dry weather will persist across the Mid-Atlantic through the weekend, extending below-normal streamflow conditions across much of Pennsylvania and Maryland, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center.
The NWS reported Saturday that little to no precipitation is expected for the next three days, with “below normal to normal streamflow conditions” continuing. Rainfall deficits have built up across the region over the past 30 days, with large sections of central and southern Pennsylvania as well as western Maryland running 1 to 2 inches below average for rainfall.
According to NWS meteorologists, the next meaningful chance of rain won’t arrive until Tuesday, when a weak system may bring scattered showers. Until then, dry weather is expected to dominate, contributing to lower river and stream levels and increased fire danger in some areas.
A 30-day departure map released by NOAA shows the driest conditions centered over south-central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland, with surrounding counties also experiencing notable shortfalls in precipitation.
Officials urge residents to monitor water usage and remain cautious with outdoor burning as the region continues to experience prolonged dryness.
