Raindex

Rainfall totals by city, last 24 hours

The latest 24-hour rainfall totals in 48 US cities, read from one ~1 km NOAA MRMS cell at each city centre and refreshed every hour. Each total ends at the newest hour NOAA has published, usually an hour or two ago; a city whose data is running behind says how old it is. A dash means no complete reading, never zero.

Where these numbers come from

On this page: 30-year averages
Every average here is from the NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals, 1991-2020, retrieved 2026-09-29. Each page names the weather station it used and how far away that station is, because a normal measured at an airport is that airport’s, not the whole town’s.
What Raindex measures
Raindex measures observed rainfall from NOAA’s Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor system (MRMS) at roughly 1 km resolution, combining radar estimates with rain-gauge adjustment. The gauge-corrected pass runs about 97 minutes behind real time, so a recent total can be revised upward or downward as gauge data arrives.
What neither one can tell you
A 30-year average says nothing about this week. A radar estimate is still an estimate: it can disagree with the gauge in your yard because of terrain, the height of the radar beam over your property, how rainfall varies within a single kilometre, and the fact that a gauge itself under-catches in wind. Raindex labels each reading gauge-adjusted, radar only or provisional so you can see which you are looking at. It does not publish an accuracy percentage, because that is not a number this data can honestly support.
