Unfortunately, NOAA recently started updating some of their QPE map layers only once per day instead of hourly. This change substantially reduces RainPursuit's ability to provide an 'at-a-glance' dashboard for viewing rainfall accumulations older than 12 hours. However, NOAA does provide access to the raw QPE raster files at this online directory. This is a start at processing the latest hourly precipitation observation into layers that can be updated every hour:
Output the results to a netCDF variable instead. This dataset is far from publish-ready as it lacks attributes, CRS information and other metadata.
