Excessive Rainfall to End the Month of July

Overall, the summer has been pretty quiet with regards to rainfall and severe weather.  It's only been within the past few weeks that we've ramped up in both of those departments.

The first five days of the month were dry, but after that Rockford received 7.87" of rainfall to round out the end of the month!  This bumped our monthly total 3.92" above the monthly average!  What's even more impressive is we've received more rainfall in the past 25 days than we have over the past 86 days, dating back to April 11th!
