This a very busy page; give yourself time to learn all the information available here before a rain event.  If you learn the inputs which created the flowpage, and use the maps in the other section of this site and become your own weatherman by using this page ...you will get more boating in...too much information is not a problem when you want to decide where to boat.

  Here are some links to help you figure out where the rain fell to help you make an informed decision on where to go boat. Even if it's not on the ridge.

 Okay here is my favorite it's from Channel 9 News and uses Weather Bug readings from the local schools, with it and the flowpage You can be 90% on what's running.

  So after that you can tell by the next window to see where the hourly rain fell. Click on the picture or CLICK HERE It has downloadable map also, for Hourly Gridded Rainfall. It is in beta and needs to be clicked so they will fund the project. It's not your Grandfathers radar. Once learned you can really get runs dialed in.
