This amount of rain in less than 12 hrs is just incredible

🚨 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 .

It's 29th anniversary of the Jarrell, TX F5 Tornado.

Still one of the most fascinating atypical tornado formation processes ever documented.

Extreme CAPE w/ No Shear + Favorable Boundary Interactions + Back-building mergers = Landspout-turned-F5 Grinder

@backinblack_wx Being from Savannah, I find this to be really cool, glad to see you going to their area, best wishes

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@TEwracademy Agreed, will throw in 2007 as well. That team was rolling at the end.

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@BigJoeBastardi Oh wow, there was also a billion dollar ice storm in the south during that stretch

This is a huge loss in the weather enterprise. Pete was a tremendous contributor to our weather safety network and to advancing our weather warning systems. I learned a lot from Pete, and it was an honor for me to work by his side. Pete will be missed 😔

[WeatherBrains @weatherbrains]

We are saddened to learn of the passing of our friend Pete Wolf. Before his scheduled appearance on the show Monday, he asked us to share his passion for teaching threat confirmation in severe weather. We were honored to do so. We will miss you Pete. https://t.co/Uy0bpxQg38

@BenDukes 😂

@DeeTaylor102 @rawastro1 @cfbmemes He could be the best, but I don't think we'll truly know until he wins a natty and then every team starts circling IU on the calendar. The greatest coaches continue to have success when nearly all opponents prepare for you like the SB.

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@CoachHayesHudl Perhaps Toliver didn't anticipate Greene's lack of execution forcing Nate more to the outside

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@TEwracademy Yes indeed, so close! I appreciate you Terrence #DGD

@SpaceMtnDude @DavinBellamy17 Frazier didn't get hurt til really late in the game. He brought his A game for sure...wish he could have been in for the last drive 🤦‍♂️

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@BrentRollinsPhD It hurt not having Frazier, and just having Gunner drop back seemed a little too vanilla for what was the most important play of the season.

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@SCweather_wx Yeah that -PDO is tough, it's been strong for a while now

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@junkyardbillk Tough one Bill, thanks for all you do

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@junkyardbillk Yep, Dawgs are in trouble

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@aaronmurray11 Converted on fake punt, returned a fumble for a TD, stopped Ole Miss on two 4th downs, but still only up by 5

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

That was one of the most egregious call overturns I've ever seen..what an embarrassment to the institution of college football. There is no way in this universe that 1st down should have been overturned. I've never believed in fixes until I saw that.

[Eric Carpenter @eric_carpenter]

@BigJoeBastardi Caveat in the SE. Yes, it hit -24 in Knoxville, TN, but there was a good snowpack at lower latitudes. I'm not saying it can't happen, just that there would need to be a good bit of snow cover that builds up before a big surge to equal Jan 85 in these parts.
