These storms have moved into the lower 48 United States from the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the eastern Pacific Ocean. The tropical cyclones and their remnants which have brought rainfall to Alaska, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Hawaii, Guam, and American Samoa are also included within this list.

However, despite Hawaii’s location in the subtropics, direct impacts by tropical cyclones are infrequent due to the protective influence of the Central Pacific Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough (TUTT), which normally dissipates systems approaching Hawaii. Hurricane Hiki in 1950 led to significant rainfall in the mountains, with 52 inches (1,300 mm) of rainfall reported.[31] This is the most rainfall produced by a tropical cyclone on record within the United States.[2] Idaho Impacts from tropical cyclones in the Pacific Northwest are rare. Most recently, the remains of Olivia moved through the region in 1982, spurring spotty moderate to heavy rainfall across Idaho.[9] Illinois See also: Climate of Illinois Hurricane Carla was a large hurricane which moved into Texas during September 1961.

Recent examples of flooding across the state from tropical cyclones include Tropical Storm Allison, Tropical Storm Frances (1998), Tropical Storm Allison (1989), and Tropical Storm Claudette (1979). Three of the four systems stalled across eastern Texas, prolonging the rainfall which occurred over Louisiana.

As it moved north-northeast, bursts of heavy rainfall were accompanied with the system over Arkansas and Kentucky. The maximum in Kentucky not only represents their highest tropical cyclone-related rainfall amount on record, but also the state’s all-time 24 hour precipitation record (through 1998).[41] 9 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia List of wettest tropical cyclones in the United States Wettest tropical cyclones, and their remnants, to affect Kansas Highest known recorded totals Precipitation Rank (mm) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 317.5 mm 288.3 mm 216.4 mm 170.4 mm 147.1 mm 138.4 mm 127.0 mm 117.6 mm 114.6 mm 104.4 mm (in) 12.50 inches 11.35 inches 8.52 inches 6.71 inches 5.79 inches 5.45 inches 5.00 inches 4.63 inches 4.51 inches 4.11 inches Storm Frances 1998 Paine 1986 Carla 1961 Tico 1983 Newton 1986 Waldo 1985 Gilbert 1988 Norma 1981 Matthew 2004 Gustav 2008 Measurement station Fort Scott[39] Fort Scott[39] Haddam[39] Independence[39] Tonganoxie 5 SE[39] Burns[39] Cedar Vale[39] Iola 1 W[39] Hale[39] Pittsburg[39] Wettest tropical cyclones, and their remnants, to affect Kentucky Highest known recorded totals Precipitation Rank (mm) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 285.8 mm 242.1 mm 207.5 mm 205.2 mm 201.7 mm 195.8 mm 193.0 mm 172.5 mm 170.4 mm 166.9 mm (in) 11.25 inches 9.53 inches 8.17 inches 8.08 inches 7.94 inches 7.71 inches 7.60 inches 6.79 inches 6.71 inches 6.57 inches Storm Unnamed 1960 Dennis 2005 Isidore 2002 Elena 1985 Katrina 2005 Tico 1983 Frederic 1979 Chris 1982 Jerry 1989 Allison 1989 Measurement station Dunmor[39] [42] Paradise Steam Plant[39] WPSD-TV Paducah[39] Finney[39] Lloyd Greenup Dam[39] Aberdeen[39] Franklin 1 E[39] Gray Hawk[39] Franklin 1 E[39] September, and October would average about 25% less that it currently does.[43] Maine The combined impact from a Nor’easter just one day before Daisy hit, and Hurricane Daisy, caused severe flooding in Maine, when rain fell for 65 consecutive hours in some locations. Rainfall from the two systems caused record rainfall in some areas in Maine.[45][46] through New Jersey, 5 inches (130 mm) of rain were reported, while New York and Pennsylvania experienced 10 inches (250 mm). Westminster, Maryland received the maximum amount from the storm in this region with a total of 14.23 inches [48] The excessive rainfall across (361 mm). the Mid-Atlantic states led to overflown rivers from flash flooding.[49] Massachusetts The wettest known tropical cyclone to impact New England is also the wettest known for the state of Massachusetts.[2] The flood from Hurricane Diane led to a significant death toll (nearly 200) from Pennsylvania eastward through southern New England.[15] Maryland Eloise’s remnants brought great moisture to the Northeast third of the United States in the combination of warm, tropical air and cold air from a cold front.

River flooding was great across the state. In addition, the rainfall broke dams, flooded houses, and covered fields, causing a damage total of $10.1 million (1995 USD).[66] South Dakota It is rare for tropical cyclone remnants originating from the eastern Pacific or Atlantic Basins to move as far inland as South Dakota.

Amelia’s storm total rainfall is the most recorded within the contiguous United States.[69] Tropical Storm Claudette (1979) holds the national 24-hour rainfall record for the United States, with 42 inches (1,100 mm) falling within a day.[70] Hurricane Paine (1986) United States Virgin Islands Tropical cyclones affect these islands of the northeast Caribbean on a regular basis. Hurricane Hortense is the wettest known system for the U. S.

The remains of Olivia moved through the region in 1982, spurring spotty moderate to heavy rainfall exceeding 7 inches (180 mm) in isolated spots.[9] Virginia See also: Climate of Virginia Virginia has some special considerations that affect tropical cyclone-related rainfall. Mountains to the west act as a perfect mechanism for upward motion during sustained east winds, which can lead to flash flooding and landslides in that region (e.g. Hurricane Camille). As a tropical system approaches from the south, a frontal zone sets up between the moist Atlantic Ocean and the drier landmass to the west. This boundary can set up two or three days in advance of a tropical storm, and can lead up to prolonged heavy rains across coastal sections (e.g. Hurricane Floyd. As the cyclone advances north, the boundary will slowly shift west, but progresses west of a Richmond/Washington, D.C. line.[75] Vermont A large swath over heavy rainfall spread up the East coast along a frontal zone draped over the northern side of Hurricane Floyd.[17] Over 11 inches (280 mm) fell across portions of Vermont, the most recorded during the passage of a tropical cyclone or its remnants within the state.[16] 24 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia List of wettest tropical cyclones in the United States Wettest tropical cyclones, and their remnants, in Vermont Highest known recorded totals Precipitation Rank (mm) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 292.9 mm 209.8 mm 170.2 mm 160.8 mm 145.5 mm 127.8 mm 124.7 mm 111.5 mm 110.2 mm 108.5 mm (in) 11.53 inches 8.26 inches 6.70 inches 6.33 inches 5.73 inches 5.03 inches 4.91 inches 4.39 inches 4.34 inches 4.27 inches Storm Floyd 1999 Connie 1955 Erin 1995 Donna 1960 Bertha 1996 Chris 1988 Eloise 1975 Daisy 1962 Diane 1955 Bob 1991 Measurement station Mount Mansfield[16] Whitingham 1 W[16] Morrisville Stowe State Park[16] Somerset[16] Dorset 2 SE[16] Vernon[16] Vernon[16] Danville[16] Essex Junction[16] Vernon[16] Wettest tropical cyclones, and their remnants, in Virginia Highest known recorded totals Precipitation Rank (mm) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 685.8 mm 513.1 mm 480.8 mm 431.3 mm 406.4 mm 364.0 mm 346.7 mm 335.3 mm 320.0 mm 285.0 mm (in) 27.00 inches 20.20 inches 18.93 inches 16.98 inches 16.00 inches 14.33 inches 13.65 inches 13.20 inches 12.60 inches 11.22 inches Storm Camille 1969 Isabel 2003 Oct. 1942 T.S.

As it transitioned into an extratropical cyclone across the Great Plains and Midwest, heavy rainfall fell in a band on the poleward side of a frontal boundary extending northeast from Carla, leading to the wettest known event to be associated with a tropical cyclone or its remains across Wisconsin.[39] 25 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia List of wettest tropical cyclones in the United States Wettest tropical cyclone remnants affecting Wisconsin Highest known recorded totals Precipitation Rank (mm) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 192.5 mm 124.5 mm 95.3 mm 93.2 mm 83.8 mm 79.8 mm 71.9 mm 71.9 mm 65.3 mm (in) 7.58 inches 4.90 inches 3.75 inches 3.67 inches 3.30 inches 3.14 inches 2.83 inches 2.83 inches 2.57 inches Storm Carla 1961 Juan 1985 Frances 1998 Chantal 1989 Newton 1986 Gustav 2008 Lester 1992 Unnamed 1960 Alicia 1983 Measurement station Brodhead[39] Marinette[39] Darlington[39] Port Washington[39] Beloit[39] Kenosha[39] Blue Mounds 6 SSE[39] Eau Pleine Reservoir[39] Green Bay Int’l AP[39] Hurricane Carla Hurricane Isidore (2002) West Virginia Although Hurricane Agnes was barely a hurricane at landfall in Florida, its major impact was over the Mid-Atlantic region, where Agnes combined with a non-tropical low to produce widespread heavy rainfall, including amounts approaching 8 inches (200 mm) in isolated spots of West Virginia.[18].
