Each feed is judged on its own clock. The masthead’s reading is the site’s publishing health, which is a different thing: a publishing delay does not make a freshly read warning stale, and a fresh check does not make an old outlook newly issued.

Forecast details

WPC’s quantitative precipitation forecast: how much rain, or the water in melted snow and ice, it expects to fall over 24 hours, drawn as contours of 0.01 inch and more. It is an amount, not a probability, and not a flood forecast: whether rain floods depends on how fast it falls and on the ground. WPC’s Excessive Rainfall Outlook, in the Flash-flood risk view, is its chance of that. WPC’s rain forecasts.
