The station, and what usual means

The numbers come from NOAA’s daily record for the station in Sheridan (station ID 036562), 2 miles from the middle of Grant County. It reported 270 of the 300 days from Jan 1 to Oct 27; the 30 days with no report count as unknown, not as dry. Rain here means everything the gauge caught: rain, and snow melted down to water. A trace, too little to measure, adds nothing to the totals, but it ends a dry stretch: something fell that day. It is read once a day, usually in the morning, and each reading is filed under the day it was read, so an evening storm can show up on the next day.

Usual means NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 daily normals for this station, added up over the same 270 days the station reported, so a missing day counts on neither side.

Why this station: it is the only one inside Grant County that reported at least 90% of the days in 2026. Your own rain gauge can read differently a few miles away.
