Maximum Per State For The Lower 48
See also: List of wettest tropical cyclones in the United StatesState maxima relating to tropical cyclones and their remnants are shown on the left, color-coded by amount. Tropical cyclones from the Atlantic Basin have the most sway along the Gulf coast and Eastern Seaboard. The impact of tropical cyclones and their remnants originally from the eastern Pacific stretches as far east as Michigan and Indiana. Rainfall related to the low pressure area once associated with a tropical cyclone, or its remnants aloft, are included in this sample. No additional rainfall from pre-existing upper lows as seen before cyclones such as Hurricane Fran of 1996 or from upper cyclones that closed off behind former tropical cyclones such as Hurricane Juan of 1985 was included.
The state of Texas has the highest amounts, followed by Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. Out West, the same can be said for Hurricane Kathleen (1976) and the remains of Hurricane Olivia of the 1982 Pacific hurricane season. Some records across the Midwest occurred during Tropical Storm Candy of 1968.
