As bad as this drought has been over the last 1-2 months, it is nothing year wise compared to last year for MDT and HGR and not even as bad at LNS...last year was bad (as was 2020 at MDT and HGR) and did not get the publicity. MDT, LNS then HGR below Tropical storm precip part of the disparity for MDT and HGR but not all of it. For LNS 2023 was the third driest 01-01 to 11-07 on record and 2024 was the 4th. MDT numbers sorted by date, not totals.
