The deluge is winding down, but this is one for the ages: McKinley River RAWS, about 25 miles SW of Lake Minchumina, has received 4.42" of rain in the past 12 hours. It's very localized, but surely this is the highest 12-hour rain ever in Interior Alaska. #akwx @Climatologist49 pic.twitter.com/5Xy5yhXS7g

Rainfall totals for the 24 hours ending 6pm AKDT Sunday. Most of these are not notable for August…except for that “small” area in western Denali Borough which includes probably the highest one-day #rainfall on record in Alaska north of the Alaska Range. #akwx @Climatologist49 pic.twitter.com/RAh3r6Jaht
