Giles County experienced a wild weather ride in 2019, from flooding in February to a drought in September, eventually ending as the second wettest year on record, a fraction of an inch behind 2018, another record-breaking year.

Rainfall in the county during 2019 amounted to 66.41 inches under the 2018 record, with a total of 67.02 inches.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service is calling for above average rainfall during the next three months in 2020.

Forecasters are calling for rain to begin Friday with light showers in the first half of the day, and it gets heavier and more widespread as the day goes on.  Heavier rainfall with some scattered thunderstorms may produce more than 1/2″ to 1″ of rain in Giles County Friday night, and then more rain comes with some intense storms into Saturday evening.
