72-Hour Rainfall Summary. Remnant moisture from former Tropical Storm Harold brought the summers most widespread heavy rainfall to the southern Sacramento mountains. Lesser totals fell across the southern half of the state yesterday. The far eastern and southeastern plains missed out. I added the Multisensor radar 24-hour rainfall totals.

Please feel free to add your rainfall totals in the comments and be sure and tell the general location of where you measured the rainfall. Early reports of some of the heaviest rainfall 3-day totals (most of this fell yesterday) reported so far this morning (as of 7:30 AM) include: PWS Pierce Canyon S of Cloudcroft 3.78" PWS W of Sacramento 3.86" PWS In Cloudcroft 3.73" Dog Canyon Raws (Guadalupe Mtns) 3.54" PWS Russia Canyon 3.41" PWS NW of Mountain Park 3.34" Cloudcroft CoCoRaHS Station 0.4 ESE
