About this site
This website started as a practical way to share radar rainfall products with Edwards Aquifer Authority colleagues through a web API. As my radar processing pipelines grew, the data streams quickly became too large and too active for simple file sharing. Handing out AWS keys did not feel like the right solution, so building a web API became the logical next step. This site grew out of that effort.
I also use this site to serve precipitation maps and rainfall data for friends and family who have farm and ranch interests across Texas. Much of that work is tucked away in the background, but it is part of the reason this site exists.
Over time, I hope to grow CFhydromet.com into a public workspace for rainfall and water-resources tools. That may include API examples, static data products, project summaries, cloud pipeline notes, and practical tutorials for working with radar rainfall data.
