Heavy rain on this Monday morning, February 20th, has pushed total rainfall at PDX over 9.00" for the month and into 2nd place on the all-time February wet record list! Less than an inch of water is needed to break the all-time February rainfall record of 10.03" set back in 1996. It is likely that we will break the record, in fact we may do so this week. Total rainfall for the Water Year, starting October 1st and ending September 30th is now over 32.00 inches. Normal for the 12 month period is 36.03 inches. The surplus at this time is more than 11" to date, which is roughly 3 months of extra rain since October. Rod Hill
