The unit for NOAA rainfall rasters is 1000ths/inch. Internally, during the peak flow calculation, these values are converted to centimeters on the fly. The saved "sheds" feature class still includes the original 1000ths/inch measurement, which is not the most obvious unit.

Consider saving the downloaded rasters in either inches or centimeters. This could happen in this function:

(

def create_geotiffs_from_rainfall_rasters(
)

That would allow a minimal amount of changes to the code elsewhere.

Other changes would include any models that reference rainfall units.
