The amount of precipitation (rain or snow), measured as liquid water equivalent, that has accumulated over a period of time. Note: QPF is an abbreviation for Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (please see the QuantitativePrecipitationForecast definition for more details).
PrecipitationProbability
Represents the probability of precipitation at a given location.
