Thunderstorms and Heavy Rains Across Portions of the Central and Eastern US; Heat Expands to Portions of the East

Widespread showers and thunderstorms, some severe, may produce heavy downpours and flash flooding across much of the eastern and central U.S. Dangerous heat will continue in the Pacific Northwest and expand across portions of the East. Deep tropical moisture and associated thunderstorms will bring heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding across portions of Florida into the central Gulf Coast. Read More >

This past rain event made for a few noteworthy tid-bits:

- Daily rainfall record of 0.66" at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (Last daily rainfall record for Anchorage was on May 26 when 0.76" fell)

- Yesterday's 0.66" was the second wettest calendar day (Midnight - Midnight), and the storm total of 0.88" marked the second wettest 24 hour period of the year.

- This event now has us on pace to have an above normal month of precipitation... first one since May, and with more rain to come tonight & tomorrow (not as much as this past event), as well as an active storm track remaining in place over the next 12 days, chances are very good we will end the month with above normal rainfall for the first time since May.

In case you were wondering, September's monthly rainfall record is 7.70" set back in 2015. We are currently at 2.27" for the month. Average is 2.99"

Enjoy!
