<br />Figure 7 shows the HMS radar-estimated storm rainfall from 1428 MDT
<br />until 1642 MDT across the basin based on the technique described above. The
<br />basin average rainfall during this period was 3.50 inches of rain with a peak 0.65
<br />square mile rainfall of 5.20 inches. The peak square mile rainfall was 4.99
<br />inches. Note that the storm has formed a rather symmetric pattern with lobes of
<br />heavy rainfall extending to the northeast and southeast. The radar pattern
<br />indicated that two storm complexes moves within the pattern with first one
<br />moving from southwest to northeast and the second one moving from northwest
<br />to southeast. This change in cell direction suggests that a disturbance moved
<br />across the area affecting the movement of the cells.

<br />Shows Total Rainfall for Each Grid Square
<br />
<br />The estimated volume of the rainfall was approximately 13,242 acre-feet of
<br />water and it fell over a roughly 8 mile by 8-mile volume covered by the storm's
<br />i-inch or greater coverage area. It is little wonder that flooding occurred given
<br />the volume of rain.
