About these readings
Recent totals combine NOAA MRMS radar analysis, where available, with Open-Meteo weather estimates. Readings cover completed analysis hours and can lag the current time. Small, localized storms may differ from a backyard gauge.

Cumulative rainfall in inches. Normal is the 1991–2020 daily average from ERA5, a weather reanalysis, rather than a nearby station gauge. Both lines use the same dataset; this comparison trails recent totals by about a week.

How to read your rainfall report
Choose the period that answers your question
Today begins at midnight in the selected location’s time zone. Past 24 Hours moves hour by hour, so it can include an overnight storm that Today misses. Past 7 Days shows whether recent rain was one event or part of a wetter week. All three stop at the latest completed analysis hour; check the timestamp below the totals before comparing them with a rain gauge.
Check where the estimate applies
A ZIP report uses one reference point, not an average for every address in that ZIP. A narrow thunderstorm can leave nearby streets with very different totals. For a more specific area, search your city or ZIP above or choose Use my location. The radar and rain-gauge guide explains why a backyard reading may disagree with a weather grid.
Look beyond one total
Use the historical date selector to see a daily breakdown, then compare this year with the 1991–2020 ERA5 average to put a wet or dry spell in context. That average is a weather-grid baseline, not an official station normal, and its chart trails recent totals by about a week. Read how rolling periods work and how the estimates are calculated. For hazardous weather, follow National Weather Service alerts.
