New Numbers for 2013 Rainfall

Due to some missing data the National Weather Service has changed the total rainfall numbers for the Clayton area from last year. Still not breaking the record, but 2013 did post the largest rainfall numbers since the record was set in 1979 says Chris Horn meteorologist for the National Weather Service …

“Total with the missing data, you have to add in May and a portion of April. The April total 5.02, and then we have to put in May 7.22. Yeah so it’s going to be 94 inches exactly, and that is going to be the biggest total since 1979.”

Also Horn confirmed the official lows for Tuesday. Clayton dropped to 2 degrees and Germany saw the lowest temperature in Rabun County at -4 below.
