Rainfall Data 24 Hour Storm, Northeast Ohio
Rainfall Data 24 Hour Storm, Northeast Ohio
(OP)
Does anyone know where I can find 24-hour rainfall depths here in Ohio? I looking for the ACTUAL rainfall amounts, not the rainfall depths per frequency storm(ie 100, 50, 25 etc.).
I have used this website before:
http://www.afws.net/
Which is good, but I wonder if there is a better one. Thanks all.

For example, we just had MAJOR storms last week. I would like to find a website where I can look and see exactly how much rain fell in a specified amount of time. For example, Aurora recieved 4.9" of rain in a 24-hr period.
The sites stated above seem to give more of the frequecy rainfall depths, for a specific area. (unless I'm missing something)

The problem with state data isn't they don't make the old stuff available online, but you can generaly send a request with small fee.
You have to look around on the NOAA and NWS for what you want.
This link is where you can buy data, some is free but it is mostly updated monthly.

If this isn't what you need you may want to send a request to NCDC at NOAA. Good luck.

Reason I posted this is because a local Eng firm stated an area over here got 5.5+ (5.61 total I think) inches in 24-hours. The dnr site give me a max of about 5.34. I'm just wondering how they got that information. ~.3" at that point is a huge margin of error.

Try this site:
http://www.weatherunderground.com/
Enter your city (or the nearest) and state at near the top. Once you get to the city page, about half-way down there is a section titled "History & Almanac."
You can go to the day your are interested in and view the information for the nearest station. The ones I look at are usually at airports, but I don't know if all of the defaults are.
Usually there are also some "Personal Weather Stations" shown if you scroll down the main city page. These aren't official stations, but sometimes can give some useful information.
