The year 2004 was highlighted by record precipitation as well as two tropical systems directly affecting Ohio in September.
Precipitation in 2004 was 57.89”, which smashed the previous record for a year of 50.91” in the year of 1981. September of 2004 saw the direct effects of the remnants of first Hurricane Frances. This storm dumped a total of 5.66” of rainfall in about 30 hours on Newcomerstown. It also established a new 24-hour rainfall record of 4.73” on September 7th through 8th.
Less than two weeks later the remnants of category 5 Hurricane Ivan moved through the area. This storm dumped just 2.10” in Newcomerstown, but unofficially just over 10” of rainfall in the panhandle area of West Virginia and eastern Ohio. Even heavier totals than that were recorded in western Pennsylvania.
