† Although normals are typically provided by the National Centers For Environmental Information, based upon averages for rainfall seasons 1981 through 2010 (to be updated in 2020), this station's data only goes back to 2000. NCEI does not provide normals for this station. Consequently, we calculated our own normals from the 11-year period of 2000-2010 (as close to NCEI's normal period), adjusting for an unusual amount of rainfall recorded in July 2002. Our calculated total season normal is 12.53 inches.
