Drenched! More Than 4 Inches of Rain In Parts Of SW ND

We are on quite a roll in North Dakota for extreme weather.

October, which is not known for being a particularly rainy month, is going to go down as one of the wettest in Bismarck's history. We've had more than 4 inches of rain so far this month (4.10), which makes it the 3rd wettest month in our history. The record is 4.73 inches of rain back in 2013, this is according to our news partner, KX News.

We woke up to early morning rain, and it lasted until early last evening in the Capital Region. Parts of the south-central and southwest North Dakota even saw thunderstorms yesterday, especially in the western counties in our listening area. Those areas also saw the heaviest bands of rain.

One city southwest of Mandan even recorded over 4 inches of rain yesterday alone.

More on that location in a moment. According to the National Weather Service, it appears we are done with rain for the rest of October. Our next chance for some precipitation is coming late Friday night into Saturday morning. Hopefully, this will not affect your trick or treating. Oh, yeah, this precipitation could be of the FROZEN variety, as snow is mentioned for the second time this year in our forecast. No mention of accumulation at this point, and it's supposed to be a rain/snow mix.
