The graphics shown below is the Multisensor Precipitation Estimates, otherwise known as MPE data. The data used to produce this graphic is a combination of radar and precipitation gages. The image below is a three day total ending on April 4th, 2005 at 7 AM EDT.
When using MPE data, it is important to remember it is vulnerable to the same inaccuracies that can be caused by either radar or precipitation gages. For radar, problems would be: freezing or frozen precipitation, low topped convection, bright banding, the reflectivity/rainfall relationship in use, calibration of the radar, radar location and elevation, range degradation, and the radar's effective coverage. For precipitation gages, problems come from freezing precipitation, windy conditions, gage siting, undermeasurement by tipping bucket gages in high intensity rainfall, and gage maintenance.
The following are unofficial observations taken during the past 36 hours ending at 8 am April 4th, 2005 for the storm that has been affecting our region. Appreciation is extended to Highway Departments, Cooperative Observers, Skywarn spotters and Media for these reports.
