RECORD EVENT REPORT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OREGON
442 PM PST THU FEB 29 2024

...RECORD RAINFALL FOR FEB 29 IN PORTLAND AND EUGENE...

PORTLAND AIRPORT HAS RECEIVED 0.94 INCHES OF RAIN THUS FAR TODAY.
THIS BREAKS THE PRIOR FEB 29 RECORD OF 0.32 INCHES OF RAIN SET IN
2016.

EUGENE AIRPORT HAS RECEIVED 0.91 INCHES OF RAIN THUS FAR TODAY. THIS
BREAKS THE PRIOR FEB 29 RECORD OF 0.88 INCHES OF RAIN SET IN 2012.

KEEP IN MIND THAT FEBRUARY 29 IS LEAP DAY WHICH TYPICALLY OCCURS
ONLY ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS. THEREFORE THE SAMPLE SIZE IS
CONSIDERABLY SMALLER THAN FOR OTHER DAYS OF THE YEAR. FOR EXAMPLE...
RECORDS AT PORTLAND AIRPORT GO BACK TO OCT 1940 BUT FEBRUARY 29 HAD
ONLY OCCURRED 19 TIMES IN THE PERIOD OF RECORD PRIOR TO TODAY.

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING...SO THESE RECORDS WILL
LIKELY NEED TO BE UPDATED AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
