Two Inches of Rain in 24 Hours for OC

Two inches of rain fell in Oconee County during the 24-hour period from Thursday to Friday, reports Official U.S. Weather Observer Barbara Wilson from her weather station at Hickory Hollow Farm in Walhalla. “In the last 24-hours we’ve had exactly two inches of rain, most of it drizzle and this morning was drizzle when I measured, but two inches of rain. Our high yesterday was 58 and our low was 50. As I looked back, we haven’t had that much rain in a 24-hour period since October when we had a total of 11 inches for the month.” That rain measurement was made this morning. Amounts may differ where you live. Wilson, and her family the Brandts, have been recording the weather from Walhalla for the National Weather Service for over 100 years. They are the longest active weather watchers and volunteer reporters for the National Weather Service.
