Next Rain May Push Us Close To Our Annual Average

As of today, 36.82" of precipitation (rain and melted snow) has accumulated in the Quad Cities in 2013.  This is only 1.14" shy of what is considered average for a calendar year.

Another soaking rain is on the way to the area Tuesday and Wednesday.  Here's the latest CBS4 projection on rainfall amounts.

This will bring us very close to our average annual precipitation.  However, that is very deceiving considering 21.32" of that total fell in the April, May, and June.  Meanwhile, only 1.72" fell in August and September.
