Web Application for Monitoring Precipitation Trends at the High Plains Regional Climate Center

The High Plains Regional Climate Center has created a web application called Water Deficit Trends to assist stakeholders with identifying precipitation trends across various timescales. The application provides information for most stations in the Applied Climate Information System (ACIS), displaying precipitation, the weekly Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), and the weekly drought monitor level across the selected timescale. Water Deficit Trends also includes information about nearby USGS stream gages and streamflow percentiles that can help when analyzing long term precipitation trends.
