MM INDICATES DATA IS MISSING.
T  INDICATES TRACE AMOUNT.

THE JULY 19TH AND 20TH PRECIPITATION TOTALS WERE ADJUSTED UPWARDS
USING A NEARBY COCORAHS STATION (IL-JK-14: DE SOTO 0.3 ESE) DUE TO
AN EQUIPMENT ISSUE WITH THE TIPPING BUCKET GAUGE THAT OCCURRED.
THE MEASUREMENTS WERE CHANGED FROM MISSING TO 3.47" ON THE 19TH AND
0.52" ON THE 20TH. THIS WAS SUPPORTED BY RADAR ESTIMATES.
