Saint Joseph got more rain in five hours this morning than we got in the whole month of May. The National Weather Service officially measured 1.76 inches of rain between midnight and 5 am. That compares to .40 over the first ten days of June and 1.67 inches for all of May.

This morning’s rain erases a shortfall for the month to date and puts us about a third of an inch ahead of normal. But for the year to date we’re still two inches below normal.
