January ended with an of-
ficial .53 of an inch of pre-
cipitation for Paducah,
lowest minimum and lowest
maximum records, as set
during the last 20 years,
broken.
A reading of .28 of an inch
of moisture was the greatest
amount received in the 24-
hour period that ended at 6
a.m. Jan. 9.
Although the slightly more
than half inch of precipi-
tation is extremely low in
relation to what is needed,
it is just that much more
than had been received by
this time last year when only
a trace of moisture, too little
to be measured, was noted.
