Some Rainfall Reports

I don’t see all of the various reports that come across our various sources, but I thought with the rains of yesterday I would try to collect some of the actual observations. Before I do that, here is the Storm Total Precipitation (STP) estimate graphic from the National Weather Service (NWS) Doppler radar located near the Shelby County Airport in Calera.

Some actual observations ending this morning.

And some places have been really, really wet. Ryan Maue over at WeatherBell Analytics, LLC, sent a tweet this morning noting that the statewide average rainfall for the last ten days showed 5.41″ for Texas, 8.85″ for Louisiana, and 3.45″ for Arkansas.

Finally, the graphic below shows the anticipated rainfall for Day 1 ending at 12Z Monday morning – that’s now 6 am CST.
