Lorton precipitation amounts April 29 - May 5, 2013

Daily rainfall totals for previous 24 hours measured at 6am from my rain gauge in Lorton.

What season do we get the most precipitation in?  Across DC the answer is Spring, and specifically May, though if you include Baltimore July and September just edge out May, probably due to thunderstorms and hurricanes.  In Lorton in the first week of May, we typically get 0.88” of rain in a week.  This past week we got a little less than that, but the upcoming week looks to be normal again in terms of precipitation.

My rain gauge in Lorton recorded the following precipitation at 6am on the day indicated for the previous 24 hours.
