We're back in the saddle this morning, carrying a few extra pounds of turkey and stuffing and catching up with the weather stats. Looks like BWI broke a record for rainfall last Wednesday - barely. The storm that preceded Thanksgiving dropped 1.26 inches at the airport. That was one hundredth of an inch more than the previous record for a Nov. 22, set in 1985.

In all, the airport has recorded 6.25 inches of rain so far this month. That's more than 3.5 inches above the norm for November in Baltimore. And that makes this November the 5th wettest on record for BWI, which began official observations in 1950.

The forecast suggests we could get a little more rain before the month ends at midnight Thursday. A bit more than 0.8 inch would put this month in second place. Until then, here's how the data stack up:

NOVEMBER    PRECIP

1952           7.68 inches

1972           7.05 inches

1963           6.85 inches

1962           6.50 inches

2006           6.25 inches

Speaking of the Thanksgiving week storm, check out the photos of beach erosion at Bethany Beach, Del. from that storm. They're posted on WeatherTalkRadio's Web site. Thanks to Tony Pann and Justin Berk for posting them, and for having me on their Sunday WCBM radio program back on the 19th. (If the link above takes you to a French weather site, just click refresh and it should get you to WeatherTalkRadio. I have no clue why it's doing that.)
