A combination of a tropical low and two cut-off upper level lows have made for a very wet couple of weeks around the area and region. My CoCoRaHS station has collected rain every day since September 14. Since that day, a total of 8.8" has fallen! Here are some select monthly totals from gauges around Oktibbeha County:
MSU Climate Lab (Hilbun Hall): 8.74"
MS-OK-1 (0.8 mi SW of Starkville): 8.50"
MS-OK-4 (2.7 mi WSW of Starkville): 7.90"
MS-OK-6 (5.3 mi S of Starkville): 12.21"
MS-OK-10 (7.2 mi SW of Starkville): 10.82"
MS-OK-11 (1.4 mi N of Starkville): 7.28"
MS-OK-19 (2.2 mi E of Starkville): 9.12"
It finally appears the wet weather will end by Saturday as a cold front sweeps through the area. A slightly cooler and much drier air mass will advect into the region for several days. The next chance of rain likely won't arrive until the end of next week.

collecting information about rainfall data has always been really very important, most of the times multiple recordings (but not duplicate) are needed for the same day...for this purpose intellirain has always proven to be of great help.
intellirain uses a proprietary software program in combination with a national network of Doppler radar locations to provide you with the best available data in the industry! It receives 288 data files per day – that’s one every 5 minutes and totals over 100,000 files per site per year. It has nationwide access to this data, and we extract from it the specific latitude/longitude coordinate of your particular site and embed it into our system.
