Volunteer Precipitation Observers Needed

Precipitation reports from volunteers are used daily to assess the quality of precipitation forecasts but also to help improve both weather and hydrologic forecasts. The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) consists of volunteers who measure rainfall once each morning using a simple, manual plastic gauge and who also take snow measurements in the winter. These volunteers have measured anywhere from 6"-10" of rain this month in southern Michigan, with higher amounts further north. One volunteer near Wellston has recorded 13.74" of rain so far.
