✦ Synopsis

The amount of precipitation recorded during individual thunderstorms was determined at 220 stations in the contiguous United States of America for a 30-year period. The probability distribution of thunderstorm rainfall amounts at each station during each season was summarized by use of the incomplete gamma distribution. The incomplete gamma distribution is completely described by two parameters, which were used in a clustering routine to determine whether regionalizing tendencies exist in the probability distributions. Large-scale regions were found when the results of the clustering were mapped. In general, these regions corresponded well with the areas of dominance of many of the proposed mechanisms for thunderstorm development.
