It's true and also Raleigh's drought was probably the most anomalous in the state before recent rains. 1986 was the lowest rainfall year through this date for both GSO and RAH. But for RAH that total was 14.13, while GSO managed only 8.6" YTD in 1986. So while GSO is running ~3" behind RAH YTD this year, we are actually running ahead of the 1986 record by a wider margin (wetter than), when compared with RAH which would catch 1986 with one good dry spell
