In fact, the total monthly precipitation through this morning (1.95") is slightly below the normal average through yesterday (2.17").
Prior to Thursday, just a little more than one inch of precipitation (1.04") was recorded since September 1, 2024.
On the flip side, nearly 40 inches of precipitation fell over the course of the first eight months of the year. In fact, the total yearly precipitation through Friday (41.57") is nearly two-and-a-half inches above normal (39.17").
It's either feast or famine in the rain gauge but, in the end, it's another "normal" year.
