Comparing with the Flood Years

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 07:38 AM

For the year to date period, this year ranks as one of the wettest on record for statewide averaged precipitation. The featured chart compares this year with recent flood years for the state along with the long term average. For 1993, July brought epic rainfalls and the blue line on the chart shows the rapid accumulation for that month. So while 2014 is currently ahead of 1993, it will probably not last long.
