Record Christmas Rainfall
Posted: 26 Dec 2016 05:37 AM
The weather was quite atypical of what one would expect for Christmas. A round of storms
with occasional thunder lifted north over the state during the morning. A cold front with
more rain moved west to east over Iowa during the evening. Warm air surged into the state
ahead of the front with some locations over 50 degrees. For Sioux Falls Airport, over an
inch of precipitation was reported, which easily made for a record for the date. The
featured chart displays daily Christmas precipitation for the site. The record setting
precipitation was double the previous record set in 2009.
