Posted: 13 Jul 2010 07:06 AM

The featured chart displays the wettest statewide 31 day periods since the year 1900. According to IEM estimates, there have only been 4 years that have seen at least one 31 day period with over 10 inches of precipitation. The epic year of 1993 had a solid two months of heavy rainfall with the heaviest 31 days shown at 12.26 inches. Two of the past three years have seen a heavy rainfall period with 2008 coming in just slightly ahead.
