April could break record for wet weather

Monday, April 25, 2011

Every month since November 2010, the Mahoning Valley has made the top 10 in most snow or most precipitation — including February when it made both lists — in the area’s weather history.

The Valley could easily break the record for the wettest April. As of this afternoon, there was 6.23 inches of precipitation this month. The record is 7.29 inches in 1998.

There’s rain in the forecast for the rest of the month.

But for the month of May, the weather service is expecting normal rainfall. Normal rainfall for May in the Valley is 3.45 inches.
