Rainfall at Lovell Field reached 1.98 inches. That helped boost our July total to 3.41 inches which is now just 0.03 below normal. We were also able to slice away at the yearly deficit which is now at 6.44 inches. Even though this is another year of below normal rainfall, we are still about 8.19 inches ahead of last year’s pace.
