Precipitation frequency (PF) estimates in this table are based on frequency analysis of annual maxima series (AMS).
Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90% confidence interval. The probability that precipitation frequency
estimates (for a given duration and annual exceedance probability) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the lower bound) is 5%.
Estimates at upper bounds are not checked against probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP
values.
Please refer to NOAA Atlas 14 document for more information.
