Nearly 85 percent of the state is now in moderate to severe drought. That's up from just 37 percent last week, and it's the most widespread Maryland drought since October 2005. Data issued Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows "severe" conditions prevail in Charles, St. Mary's and southern Calvert counties. "Moderate drought" extends from eastern Allegany County, across southern Baltimore County to the Lower Shore. "Abnormally dry" conditions continue in the state's far west and northeast.
