24-Hour Precipitation Map Archive Since November 9, 2005, 24-hour precipitation gage maps for the entire CNRFC area, northern California, southern California, and Nevada are being archived and available for retrieval. An incomplete set of the gridded version for the entire CNRFC area is also available (back to 04/18/2003). The 24-hour period runs from 4am-4am during PST (5am-5am PDT). The file naming convention uses the ending date, so for example, today's date will provide precipitation data for the past 24 hours ending at 4am PST (5am PDT) this morning. Additionally since April 6, 2006, gage map subareas are being archived and available for retrieval. Please Note: Precipitation gage maps are available daily after 4:30 am PST (5:30 am PDT). The CNRFC Grid map is available after 8:30 am PST (9:30 am PDT). Please note that the maps display data from automated gages that have not been verified for accuracy. National Precipitation Graphics [Back to top] The National Weather Service generates a graphical representation of short-term observed and climatic trends of precipitation. This precipitation analylsis is available for the lower 48 United States (CONUS) and Puerto Rico. Monthly Observed Precipitation - NWS Cooperative Observers [Back to top] The following are data from NWS cooperative observers for the current water year and historically back to Water Year 2002.
