| Description
This publication contains hourly               precipitation amounts obtained from recording rain gages located at National Weather Service,               Federal Aviation Administration, and cooperative observer stations. Published data are displayed               in inches to tenths or inches to hundredths at local standard time. HPD includes maximum               precipitation for nine (9) time periods from 15 minutes to 24 hours, for selected stations.              
Period              of Record 
 Hourly Precipitation Data publication period of record begins October 1951.  **In some rare cases, there               are gaps in the archives available.** Over the years that Hourly Precipitation Data               has been produced, there have been changes, improvements, and               additions to the monthly publications. Also, the climatic stations               available today have not always been available for publication.
