Clicking on the map I learned that we received 0.75 inches of rain in the past 24 hours. I assume they use rainfall intensity integrated over time to estimate the rainfall.
The resolution is impressive. I looked at the location where the Upper and Hill orchards are and as-of 10AM they had about 1.8" of rain while two miles north of them they only received 0.5".
This will help me make decisions about whether I will be lugging water or not. At this point, I think I am off-the-hook for a couple of weeks at the Upper orchard site.
Looking south of Parma, I see they got almost 3" of rain while Battle Creek, some 30 miles west of them got zero.
What does your rain gauge read?
ReplyDeleteThe rain gauge in the Upper Orchard is a seventy-minute round trip away. I expect to be there tomorrow morning and will check.

ReplyDeleteMight have to compare "Rain Drop" to Accuweather to see which is better.....
ReplyDeleteit is accurate for my AO . Agrees so far with my rain gauge exactly
