Heavy Rain Event Captured By CoCoRaHS

I am not sure how many of you saw a national radar map on Thursday evening, but a huge complex of showers and thunderstorms made its way through southeast Nebraska and portions of Kansas and Iowa.

I sat there and thought to myself, wow -- I wonder how well CoCoRaHS will record this "storm footprint"?

All you have to do is look at today's national map and you can see it like a clearly marked target.


There was definitely a bullseye in southern Jefferson and Thayer counties (in south-central Nebraska) with some 4 and 5 inch reports.

But there were numerous 3-inch+ reports in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska.
