Denver broke a 75-year daily record for rainfall on Sunday: NWS

DENVER (KDVR) -- Denver broke a daily record for rainfall during Sunday's dreary weather that was set 75 years ago.

Colorado has had a soggy Memorial Day weekend, filled with rain, hail and even tornadoes on the northeast Plains Friday just as the weekend was getting started. Denver's weather was not as severe, with some hail reports around the area from Grant and Shawnee on U.S. 285 to Centennial.

    Denver did however see seemingly never-ending rain on Sunday, which added up to be a record-breaking amount at Denver International Airport, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.

    Sunday's record rainfall

    The National Weather Service measured 1.39 inches at DIA on Sunday, breaking the previous daily record for May 26 of 1.31 inches set all the way back in 1950.

    Sunday's rainfall was also a staggering departure from normal, as the average rainfall for May 26 is just .07 inches.

    Lone Tree and Aurora also saw some heavy rain, with the National Weather Service measuring 1.58 and 2.10 inches in each area, respectively.
