Stage IV estimates based on hourly data
The featured map is estimated rainfall totals for 2007 based on NWS NEXRAD estimates. While the values may be somewhat over estimated, the story for 2007 was the extreme amounts of rainfall many parts of the state experienced with some locations over 4 feet of water! Much of this rain fell during the months of August and October, which for both months set many records for daily and monthly totals. The only portion of the state that missed out was the extreme Northwest corner. Will we see a repeat in 2008?
