Interactive rainfall map

I suppose those of you who need this already know about it.
It became useful to me this year when the ground water became "above ground water" here, as the average precipitation for August tripled and there was this "Erika" storm headed in my general direction.

Try it and see how much rain you have been getting lately and where it falls with historical averages.

Not sure why but it seems the data for the western states is missing.

If you back out one level on the URL, there is a current condition map that covers the western US.

It was fun to look at but the color charts are impossible for me to read. I can never figure out what color is where.... just a little bit color blind.

Neat...this is a good one for actual rainfall amounts as well. CoCoRaHS - Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network

According to the map, I've received 12" of rain over blast 90 days, 16" over the last 120 days and we're in drought conditions. Welcome to Minnesota!
