RMK: Sizeable wind-chill this morning ... moderate rain
throughout the night, consistently 2.5 to 3.5mm/h. First
time I've had a rainfall duration of 24.0h in a rainfall day
for a very long time. An additional 28.2mm since 21z,
bringing the event total to 64.8mm and counting.

RMK: Bleak. Event total now 66.3mm in 40 hours, continuous
for 30.5h. I doubt that have been many late-May days
with a 12z temperature quite as low as this.
