Last Two Augusts Wettest Ever in Eastern Kentucky

According to the National Weather Service, last month and August, 2013 were the wettest Augusts ever in eastern Kentucky…At least, as long as records have been kept. John Jacobson is a meteorologist with the Jackson office. He says the region received eight and a half inches of rain last month, second only to the ten-plus inches that fell the previous August.

He says normal rainfall for the month in eastern Kentucky is about three and a half inches…

Jacobson says it’s anybody’s guess whether the unusual amount of precipitation will continue this month.
