| description abstract | The probable maximum precipitation (PMP), an estimate of the upper limit to storm rainfall, is determined using a catalog of extreme rainstorms. The effect of a recent extreme rainstorm—the northeastern Illinois storm of July 17–18, 1996—on PMP estimates for the Chicago area, is evaluated using standard PMP moisture maximization procedures. The results show that although the storm is a record rainfall event, its maximized precipitation is still below the PMP estimates for the Chicago area. Instead, a storm that occurred in Oklahoma, or perhaps another in Iowa, established the 24-h, 26- | |
