The National Weather Service has recently updated their website for the national precipitation maps, which is based on radar-estimated rainfall. You can find it at https://water.noaa.gov/. It allows the display of stream gauge observations as well as forecasts and also allows you to display daily, monthly, and yearly precipitation amounts. You can turn on county borders as well as choose other boundaries. I use this to show how rainfall can sometimes vary widely across counties, even ones as small as those in Georgia, and that can be important to producers who are suffering impacts from droughts or floods. I encourage you to take a look and see how the rain varies across your region.
