The Frederick News Post (Md.), Oct. 30, 2023
The Maryland Department of the Environment put some northern counties in a drought warning rather than a drought watch. Counties in a drought warning include Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Frederick, Harford, Howard and Montgomery counties, except those areas served by Baltimore City or Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission public water systems. The shift to drought warning status was due to lower-than-normal stream flows and groundwater levels for this time of year. Washington, Allegany and Garret counties remained in a drought watch.
