Greatest 24-Hour Precipitation

| 22 inches | August 28, 1962 to August 29, 1962 | Hackberry | 163979 | E: Value is unchanged from previous extremes tables last updated by NCEI (formerly NCDC) between 1998 and 2006. Value exceeds all other valid values. |
The 13.0 inches observed at Colfax on February 13, 1960 is the greatest 24-hr snowfall that could be confirmed for Louisiana. It is likely that higher 24-hr amounts fell during the Valentine's Day blizzard of February 13-15, 1895 (in which storm totals of 14 to 24 inches were prevalent from Galveston, TX to Lake Charles, LA) as well as the blizzard of December 21-22, 1929. However, all reported snow falls from these events appear to be accumulated amounts from which daily totals cannot be reliably extracted.
