NOAA Atlas 14: Precipitation Frequency Estimates

Developed by the NOAA National Weather Service Office of Water Prediction, NOAA Atlas 14 provides estimates of expected precipitation depth or intensity in a selected location, given a storm event’s duration and recurrence interval. NOAA Atlas 15 is currently under development and will refine the current dataset and expand upon by providing future projections (this version likely won’t be ready for use in our area until at least 2026, but stay tuned for updates!).

5th National Climate Assessment Atlas

NCA5 Atlas

To help Americans anticipate how changing climate conditions might affect their homes and businesses, the United States Global Change Research Program conducts a comprehensive review of scientific information on climate trends and impacts in our country every four years. The 5th National Climate Assessment — often referred to as NCA5 — was published in 2023.

This Interactive Atlas provides access to data compiled for NCA5. Browse the collection for your own investigations, or access the data for custom analysis and mapping.
