New daily rainfall record set on Thursday

A lot of rain fell across the area yesterday.  So much rainfall, the National Weather Service reports that a new daily maximum rainfall record was set.  1.79 inches of rain fell on Thursday, breaking the old record of 1.21 set in 1874.  Not quite an inch of rain fell in the Dunkirk area, with .90 being reported at the Dunkirk Airport.  That was still wet enough to postponed the Section 6, C-1 softball championship game between Cassadaga Valley and Chautauqua Lake until this afternoon at 4 pm in Dunkirk.
