These maps were modified from their original source by an automated process via Python 2.7 and ImageMagick 6.8.6. Puerto Rico was added and the legend was moved to the left side of the picture to eliminate dead space. An overlay was placed on the CONUS and Puerto Rico maps so that the state and island boundaries would show up more distinctly. The projection of the data was not changed as each map page was captured individually and not recreated from the raw data made available by the NWS in shape files. The default for the bottom row of the Departure from Average and Percent of Normal Panels is seven days, but this value will vary according to availability. Each link will open in a new tab. The Python and ImageMagick scripts were written by Denver S. Ingram, Meteorologist. The idea behind these maps was to consolidate information related to precipitation anomalies in one place. Comments are welcome.
