URI: https://codes.nws.noaa.gov/StatPP/Methods/Categorization/QPF/6CatQPF

Method for categorizing QPF into 6 mutually exclusive and exhaustive (MEAE) categories. This categorization was developed specifically for METAR observations and assumes a precision of 0.01 inches: 0=no pcpn; 1=0.01 to 0.09 inches; 2=0.10 to 0.24 inches; 3=0.25 to 0.49 inches; 4=0.50 to 0.99 inches; 5=1.00 to 1.99 inches; 6=2.00 inches or more. Downloading each category with metadata will yield a machine-readable interpretation.
