More heavy rainfall events to go

Posted: 23 Jul 2010 05:09 AM

The featured chart presents the number of distinct days per year that at least one NWS COOP site reported over two inches of rain in a 24 hour period. The mean value in this chart is close to 40, which means that we have roughly only seen half of the number of heavy rainfall events for the year so far! The flood year of 1993 shows up as the largest value of 61 days. More heavy rainers are in the state this morning with another round expected tonight into Saturday morning.

Voting:
Good = 70
Bad = 14
