As Jerry says, time to build an ark!
Despite forecasters' early morning predictions that San Jose would stay mostly dry today, there was enough rainfall for the city to make weather history.
With one-hundredth of an inch of precipitation recorded, it rained on July 18 for the first time in nearly 70 years of record-keeping, according to the National Weather Service.
At 8 a.m., forecasters at the weather service thought the streak would keep going, but by 11:30 a.m. there was a heavy mist rolling through town. The National Weather Service's Dan Gudgel said it might not be enough to leave more than a trace amount, which wouldn't count toward breaking the record.
But Gudgel hedged his bet, stating that "it's not out of the realm of possibility."
San Francisco also made weather history today by recording one-hundredth of an inch of rain. At Moffett Field, six-hundredths of an inch of rain were recorded in the past 24 hours.
...Gudgel said the downtown climate station in San Francisco recorded a measurable amount of rain - at least one-hundredth of an inch - for the first time on this date in more than 150 years.
