Georgia State Climatologist Bill Murphey said Tuesday that the current rain pattern shows signs of continuing over the weeks ahead. Downtown Toccoa has already received more than 53 inches of rain which is more than the total rainfall of last year. Murphey said that even just normal rainfall for the rest of the year would result in yearly rainfall totals for 2013 that are way above the normal for an average year in Toccoa. “If you assume you carried on with normal rainfall amounts for say the remainder of 2013, Toccoa would end up with around 75 to 77 inches for a year, which is about a 20-inch surplus,” said Murphey. Murphey said that while the area may get a mini-break here and there, he does not see the weather pattern changing over the short term.
