Area Rainfall Amounts: Dorchester Gets Another Half Inch


More rain has filled the rain gauges of Saline County this week, as the Times' official gauge showed around 0.50 in. following Tuesday evening's precipitation.

That makes for a little more than 5.60 inches over the past two weeks in Dorchester's village limits.  

Everything is our area is rather saturated, as evidenced by Dorchester's main street drainage -- or lack thereof -- last night.

Areas north and south of Dorchester saw much heavier rainfall.  Here are the area totals:

DeWitt (0.3 miles WNW) ........ 1.15" 
Western (1.2 SE) ...................... 0.69" 
Friend (3.4 E) ........................... 0.55" 
Wilber (7.0 WSW) ................... 0.45"
Dorchester (2.1 NW) ............... 0.41"
Dorchester (4.5 SSE) ............... 0.35"
Tobias (4.7 SSW) .................... 0.20"
Western (4.4 NNE) .................. 0.13"
