Rain Story for Western Wyoming and Star Valley

The unusually cool and wet Fall type low pressure system is centered over Southeastern Idaho this Saturday morning.  More showers with snow in the high elevations is expected this weekend

It has been a particularly wet August as well as looking back for the past 12 months.

At Star Valley Ranch here are some precipitation statistics as of August 23rd.

4-day total  August 20-23                 2.35 inches
August 2014 so far                           4.55 inches
2014 year to date                           22.83 inches
August 23 2013-August 23 2014     34.91 inches
Snowfall 2013-2014                       192    inches

The almost 35 inches in the past 12 months is comparable to what would be expected in typically moist cities such as Seattle WA and Kansas City MO.

Following is the summary of rainfall compiled by the Riverton Forecast for the current storm so far:
