A flag records how the source published the value: preliminary is
subject to revision, estimated was edited or filled by the source,
suspect was marked questionable by it, suppressed was
withheld to avoid identifying an individual employer, and
unavailable means no value was published for that period. A
suppressed or unavailable value is stored empty, never as a zero.
Methodology
Accumulated precipitation in inches at USDA NRCS SNOTEL stations, from the Air and Water Database (AWDB).
This series accumulates through the water year and resets on 1 October. It is
not monthly precipitation. At Bear Creek the September 2025 value is 31.7 inches
and the October 2025 value is 3.6, because October starts water year 2026 from
zero. Differencing consecutive months within a water year gives that month's
precipitation; differencing across the October boundary gives nonsense. If you
want monthly totals, use our noaa_precipitation series instead, which is
monthly by construction.
One station, not a county, and the end-of-month value rather than a monthly average — the same caveats as snow water equivalent, which documents them at length.
Flags are carried through from AWDB as preliminary, estimated and
suspect.
