Notes:
- * San Jose data from NWS appears too low. I suggest using "City of San Jose" from SCVWD: https://valleywateralert.org/scvwd/pgi.php

- "T" = Trace (e.g., < 0.01", the smallest increment measured).

- Updated, whenever possible during rainy periods, usually between 6 and 7 pm pst.

- The source data for this page comes from https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/awipsProducts/RNORR4RSA.php and is converted to the California rainfall season (July 1 to Jun 30) that meteorologists use, from the Water Year (Oct 1 to Sep 30) that hydrologists use. The stations chosen for the list are determined by the NWS.
