Update: 3.06", only need 1.29" to break ALL TIME September Record

UPDATE:

As mentioned yesterday in the blog, we were pretty confident that we would not be in danger of breaking the ALL TIME September Precipitation record set in 1986 of 4.30" at the PDX Airport. As of this morning, PDX has 3.02" of rain recorded, that would mean we only have 1.29" left to go to beat the record. After viewing the models, we notice that the initial past few runs, rounded out, show at least 1.50"-2.00" more before months end. We now belive that the all time record is at risk, and will be monitored. In La Nina years, this type of record breaking patterns should be more common then most other years not La Nina. We should expect more records to fall this coming season, but to what kinds of records is to be seen.
