A daily feature earlier this week denoted how the big rainfall on Sunday largely missed the most drought stricken portions of the state. The featured chart today looks at Sunday's rainfall efficiency when compared against the previous 31 day departures based on NOAA MRMS precipitation estimates. The areal coverage of at least one inch of rainfall is partitioned into bins based on the previous 31 day departures. For example and taking the first bin combination, about 4% of the state was running at least three inches below average over the past 31 days and 1.5% of the state over that same area received at least an inch on Sunday. So the chart nicely shows that nearly the entire state had been running a bit short recently and the highest percentage of the inch rainfall fell in the 2 to 3 inch deficit region.
