Shattered on Thursday, plus more!
(posted by Keno on Friday, October 23 at 154 am)
A new daily precip record was set on Thursday, October 23, at the Crestone/Baca Weather Station in Baca Chalet 1, when 1.37" of rain fell. The old record was 0.59", which occurred on this date back in 2015. But there's more..... Not only was the daily record set with that amount of rainfall being seen on this day, but the 1.37" of rain that fell was also the most rain ever seen in the Crestone - Baca on any one October day, or in other words, since weather records were first recorded in our area, back in 1982. The old record high took place on October 5, 1984, when 1.15" of precipitation was recorded. FYI, looking back on all 12 months, this 1.37" of rain amount is the sixth highest one day total ever seen in our area. The record for the most precip in one day in the Crestone-Baca is 2.05", which was set on July 27, 2003.
