Abstract
High‐intensity rains of short duration and limited areal extent are important in the southwestern United States to engineers, hydrologists, meteorologists, and others concerned with the frequency, magnitude, duration, and distribution of thunderstorm rainfall. In this paper, data from two dense raingage networks, one in southeastern Arizona and the other in eastern New Mexico, were used to establish expected occurrences of high rainfall rates (50 mm/h and greater) and diurnal and seasonal variability in such occurrences. Expected occurrences and durations above various thresholds were determined for both point and area for each location.
