The observed annual maximum number of consecutive days with precipitation less than 0.01 inches for 1971-2000 was plotted for the U.S. Great Plains.

1. At each grid point, the maximum number of consecutive days with precipitation less than 0.01 inches was calculated for each year (provided data were available for 95% of the days at that grid point). 2. At each grid point, the mean annual maximum number of consecutive days with precipitation less than 0.01 inches was computed for the period 1971-2000. 3. Data were plotted for all grid points in the U.S. Great Plains.

The duration of this activity was 56 hours.
