Has This Summer Rainfall Been Unprecedented Across Ohio?

On July 5th we took at look at the summer pattern thus far. Check it out if you haven't already.

Here are the updated rainfall totals VS normal broken down in three periods: 

First period is June 1 to June 15

Shades of blue indicated rainfall 3/4" or more above normal. Tan colors indicated below normal rainfall.

Second period is from June 16 to June 30.  Heaviest rainfall was from Medina county west to just south of Findlay. 

Now the final period is from July 1 to July 11.  Heaviest rain across the southern half of northern Ohio.

Finally the summer totals overall from June 1 to July 11.

Purple colors show 8" or more since June 1. Green colors show between 4-8". 

Soil moisture has increased significantly over the last week

Our summer outlook issued in late April highlighted frequent rain/storms this summer with above normal rainfall.

Pattern looks to continue through the end of July!
