Rain Accumulation layer point toals sensitive to zoom...
-
I notice that the forecast rain accumulation totals for a specific location differs dependending on the level of zoom applied to the map, all oothe factors constant. Is this some residual averaging artifact from something like map resolution crossing model resolution? ...vs ..(zoom out 1 click)
This was in GFS (22km) model
Thanks -

Yes, This behavior is common in many weather visualization tools. For the most accurate forecast for a given location, it is best to rely on the most zoomed view available or examine specific point data directly from the model source.
