bdgwx Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 STL broke the calendar day rainfall record in only 6 hours. The previous record was 6.85" on August 20th, 1915. As of 7am STL had 7.97" today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 FYI the 8.62" they have had so far today would rank as the #5 Wettest JULY on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdgwx Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The COCORAHS station in St. Peters (just west of St. Louis) record 11.00" in 7 hours. The station is located 38.8 N, 90.6 W. According to the Precipitation Frequency Data Server this is easily a 1-in-1000 year event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had about 6-7 of these 1 in 100 year events here in the last 30 years me thinks. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1987/08/15/record-rain-deluges-chicago/38e66bbe-8abf-48e7-9a69-c204a30991f6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Here's a fun one. There was more rain today at STL than there has been in the last 3 years in Las Vegas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 St. Louis now has a higher record daily rainfall in meteorological summer than Miami, FL. You'd think that a tropical system would've dumped more on Miami at some point during summer (even though that is prior to peak season), but nope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Looks like it may have finally stopped raining at STL. I have the calendar day amount -- which begins at 1 am at this time of year -- at 8.64" and a 2 day total of 9.07". I think that's correct but someone correct me if it's wrong.

Not entirely out of the question this time of the year up there, but made me think about fall coming also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
