24 Hour Rainfall Totals

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.

    1. The rain gauge in the Upper Orchard is a seventy-minute round trip away. I expect to be there tomorrow morning and will check.
