Public Information Statement
4 Straight Days of Record High
Rainfall
(posted by Keno on Monday, October 26 at 1022 am)
The Crestone Baca has seen 4 days in a row (October 22 thru October 25) of record high daily precipitation reached - and all of it has fallen in the form of rain, other than a bit of hail also falling on October 24 and 25 (see the Hail Report for more), but no snow fell below about 9,000 feet. Because of my poor memory problems, I didn't report that daily info here, other than what fell on October 22 (below). As far as the other 3 days, here are the daily totals I forgot to list: For October 23, 0.24", the next day, 0.69", and yesterday we received 0.40". As far as the old records that were broken for these daily dates (that I usually note in these reports), I won't be doing that today. You will need to head over to the official NWS site to see that info and look there for it, and it's all listed there, as I did remember to send in my daily reports for each day, and any records from them are shown there. But because I forgot to leave daily notes here like I used to do in the past (for the last 24 years), it becomes a lot harder to view the old records once the new records are updated (after I enter such info) and soon after, only the new records are easy to view. Of course, all the old records are still listed, but on a different page that takes time to look up, and today I don't feel up to looking that all up. But if you want to know, feel free to go here: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/climate?wfo=pub, where you can find that and so much more. But it will take some time to do.
Daily Precipitation Record Shattered on Thursday, plus more!

A new daily precip record was set on Thursday, October 22, 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.
