2019 went down in the books as a NOTABLY WET year for our 30-county coverage area as a whole, but particularly within the northeast half (see map at right). Nearly ALL of our area measured above normal annual precipitation, with the very-highest totals focused primarily within Valley/Sherman/Howard/Hall/Thayer counties (and portions of neighboring counties). On the other hand, some of the overall-lowest amounts (but still at least slightly above normal for the most part) concentrated within southwestern local counties such as Furnas/Phillips/Smith. In addition to the historical flooding that inundated many areas in March, other notable rounds of newsworthy rain/flooding occurred in July (including the city of Kearney) and in August (including in and especially north of Grand Island). 

Within many of the overall-wettest counties, many places finished an incredible
10-20" ABOVE normal for the year. In fact, several long-standing NWS cooperative observers recorded one of their Top-5 wettest years on record. Just to list some:
- Kearney airport (tied 2nd-wettest out of 126)
- Grand Island automated airport sensor (3rd-wettest out of 125)
- St. Paul (WETTEST out of 124...19.15" above normal!)
- Ravenna (WETTEST out of 127...17.19" above normal!)
- Arcadia 2W (WETTEST out of 124)
- Hebron (tied 4th-wettest out of 127)
- York 3N (3rd-wettest out of 127)
- Loup City (5th-wettest out of 124)
- Greeley (4th-wettest out of 125)

Of the very FEW official NWS cooperative observer sites that finished barely wetter-than-normal in 2019, one of these was Smith Center KS (only 0.53" above normal).

In summary: 2019 was an overall very-wet year for our area as a whole, and in several northern/eastern counties it was a record to near-record wet year!
