Heavy rainfall we have not

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:09 AM

As with most of the year, rainfall has been difficult to come by in the past four weeks. When smeared over the entire state, the estimated rainfall on Tuesday added up to a mere 8 hundredths of an inch and matches the highest total we have seen since the 17th of September. The highest total so far for September and October is just 26 hundredths of an inch. Since 1893, the smallest maximum daily total for these months was 34 hundredths back in 1952 and 1953. Our fortunes may be about to change with thunderstorm chances arriving this weekend and expectations for heavier rainfall totals than what we have previously seen from passing storm systems.
