...LANE POSSIBLY BREAKS HAWAII TROPICAL CYCLONE RAINFALL RECORD...
The Mountain View gage has measured 52.02 inches of rain for the period from 8 AM HST August 22 when the outer rain bands started impacting the Big Island through 8 AM HST August 26 after the trailing rain band passed west of South Point. An unverified private weather station also reported 58.80 inches during this same time span. We will attempt to validate this private weather station report. Both totals indicate that Hurricane Lane has broken the Hawaii tropical cyclone storm total rainfall record, pending verification of the data. The previous record was 52.00 inches, measured at Kanalohuluhulu Ranger Station, during Hurricane Hiki in 1950. The Hurricane Lane total would also make it the second highest storm total rainfall from a tropical cyclone in the United States since 1950. The highest total is 60.58 inches, measured at Nederland, Texas, during Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
Here are some of the notable rainfall totals from the ongoing event, covering the period from 8 AM HST August 22 through 8 AM HST August 26. All values are in inches, and are preliminary pending final quality control.
