Data Sources: Precipitation data contained in this report is from the Advanced Hydrologic Precipitation Service's (AHPS) Observed Precipitation product. This product is at a 4km x 4km spatial resolution and measures accumulated precipitation in a "hydrologic day" starting and ending at 1200 GMT. For the purposes of this report we define a day to be the calendar day of the starting period, e.g. May 24th, 2014 runs from 1200 GMT (7am EST) May 24th through 1159GMT (6:59am EST) May 25th.
East of the Rocky Mountains the AHPS derives the Observed Precipitation from a multisensor approach. Where available hourly precipitation estimates from the WSR-88D NEXRAD (radar network) are adjusted using ground gauge reports. This combined, multi sensor estimate is quality controlled on an hourly basis. More information can be found at: https://water.weather.gov/precip/about.php
Geographic accuracy of precipitation peaks may be up to 5km.
