QPF 24 Hours Day 1 is for the 24 hour time period starting at the valid date/time.<\/span><\/p>

QPF 24 Hours Day 2 is for a 24 hours time period starting at the valid date/time for day 2 (which is 24 hours past day 1).<\/span><\/p>

QPF 24 Hours Day 3 is for a 24 hours time period starting at the valid date/time for day 3 (which is 48 hours past day 1).<\/span><\/p>

QPF 48 Hours Day 4-5 is for a 48 hour time period starting at valid date/time for days 4-5 (which is 72 hours past day 1).<\/span><\/p>

QPF 48 Hours Day 6-7 is for a 48 hour time period starting at valid date/time for days 6-7 (which is 120 hours past day 1).<\/span><\/p>

Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts, or QPFs, depict the amount of liquid precipitation expected to fall in a defined period of time. In the case of snow or ice, QPF represents the amount of liquid that will be measured when the precipitation is melted. Precipitation amounts can vary significantly over short distances, especially when thunderstorms occur, and for this reason QPFs issued by the WPC are defined as the expected \"areal average\" (on a 20 x 20 km grid) in inches.
