The station, and what usual means
The numbers come from NOAA’s daily record for the station in Center (station ID 03903), 7 miles from the middle of Shelby County. It reported 277 of the 286 days from Jan 1 to Oct 13; the 9 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 counts as zero.
Usual means NOAA’s 1991 to 2020 daily normals for this station, added up over the same 277 days the station reported, so a missing day counts on neither side.
Why this station: it is the only one inside Shelby County that reported at least 90% of the days in 2026. Your own rain gauge can read differently a few miles away.
