The National Weather Service reports that Tuesday’s storm, remnants of Hurricane Linda that drenched our region, has broken rainfall records.

Lindbergh Field got 1.21 inches of rain on Tuesday alone, breaking the previous record for September 14^th set 109 years ago – and that old record was just over a tenth of an inch.Tuesday was also the second wettest day in September ever.

The worst was back in 1939, when three tropical storms walloped our region.

Sunny skies are returning, however, with high temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above normal forecast by Sunday.
