Significant precipitation events occurred in the Twin Cities metropolitan area during the period July 7 - 10, 2000. Especially hard-hit was northern Dakota County. Numerous requests have been made of the State Climatology Office for precipitation data describing this period. To aid investigators, we have compiled a table of all daily precipitation data archived by this office for Dakota County in July 2000. Below you will find, for each observer location in Dakota County, a station identifier followed by daily precipitation totals and a monthly total. The observer locations are sorted by legal description (township, range, section). The station identifier contains county name, township number, range number, section number, and network type. Network types include: BYRG - State Climatology Office Backyard Network MOSQ - Metropolitan Mosquito Control District NWS - National Weather Service Cooperator SWCD - Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District Daily and monthly precipitation totals are in inches. A "T" indicates a trace amount of precipitation. The character "|" indicates that the total that follows is a multi-day total. Precipitation data are gathered by volunteers making observations at their convenience. The time of day that the observer makes an observation can vary from location to location. A common observation cycle is 7:00 AM to 7:00 AM, but many observers have an afternoon or evening observation time.
