Amount (Amt)
Amount gives the volume measurement of precipitation which falls in liquid (rain) and frozen (e.g., snow, hail) form. For frozen precipitation, amount is stated as a liquid equivalent -- the average amount of liquid produced after melting. The average snow-to-liquid ratio is 10:1 (10 inches of snow melts to produce 1 inch of liquid precipitation). The ratio can be higher or lower depending on air temperature.

Soil Moisture
Soil Moisture describes the wetness or dryness condition of soil top layers above the water table.
It takes into account both past conditions (previous 10 days) and future expectations of rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
Possible soil moisture results are stated as:
Very Wet, Wet, Marginally Wet, Marginally Dry, Dry, Very Dry
Moisture levels vary based on plant and soil types and other localized factors.
NOTE: When the climatological average low temperature for a given location is below 35 degrees, the index is not computed. 'Not Applicable' displays in these instances.
