The National Weather Service in Lincoln is encouraging central Illinois residents that keep track of rainfall totals to consider joining the publication cocorahs.org.

Ed Shimon indicates 'cocorahs' help weather officials track rainfall totals for the area and submitting rainfall where you are at is relatively easy.

Cocorahs.org is the website and for producers and residents, it is a great tool to find out how much rain fell wherever you may be in central Illinois.
