Pittsburgh nearly breaks daily rainfall record from 1872

PITTSBURGH — UPDATE: The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh said the rainfall was incorrectly totaled due to technical problems at the observation site.

In a Tweet they said, "A review of the rainfall showed 1.12 inches of rain fell today. That puts us just short of the record 1.15 inches for the day. Our bad."

How wet has it been this year? Wet enough to wash away a nearly 150-year-old rainfall record over the last 24 hours.
