Monday’s rain brings big bump in monthly and annual precipitation numbers

With 1.80 inches having fallen in the bucket yesterday afternoon and evening, Thornton saw a big boost in our rainfall totals for July and the entire year.

In fact, the 1.80 inches from that one storm was more precipitation than we had seen in any single month yet this year.

It did push the month’s rainfall total to above the 11 year average for July however, for 2018 we are still lagging almost 2 inches below what we would normally see by the end of July.

There are still seven days left in the month and monsoonal flow does look to be present in the coming days so we certainly could see things improve further.
