National Weather Service Seeking Rain Totals

If you keep track of rainfall totals at your farming operation or at your home, the National Weather Service is asking you to consider being a part of a program to submit those totals to them.
 
Cocorahs.org is a website started by the National Weather Service that keeps track of rainfall totals from across the country and according to Darrin Hansing, Service Hydrologist at the National Weather Service, so many people utilize the information at CoCoRAHS.
 
 
According to Hansing, you can get basic data about precipitation across the country, but you can also get more in depth data and information. 
 
 
CoCoRAHS allows for users to get spacial information about totals near them for the day they are looking or they could back and look at previous rainfall totals. Hansing explains there's so much interactivity at the website.
 
 
Visit cocorahs.org for more information. 
 
If you are considering becoming a report for CoCoRAHS, Hansing says you will need a specific rain gauge as it helps keep the data consistent.
