๐จ STATE RECORD RAINFALL CONFIRMED
A rain total of 29.06" reported by a CoCoRaHS (home) weather station just southeast of Cottonport and southwest of Plaucheville in Avoyelles Parish has received initial confirmation as a new Louisiana state record for 24-hour rainfall. Even more remarkably, that total occurred in less than 12 hours.
Meteorologists with @NWSLakeCharles and State Climatologist @JayGrymes_WX confirmed it as a valid report today. The record is still considered preliminary until it receives final confirmation from @NOAANCEI .
Colorado is very fickle on big parameter space days. Discrete storms in a better environment evaporate, while weakening storms moving to the wrong side of a boundary intensify ๐คทโโ๏ธ
