Here are core rain events I have listed. Just for anyone wanting to know what a core rain is' it occurs with a warm core low pressure system, mostly tropical lows from tropical storms or hurricanes and upper level low pressure systems with a warm core. The rainfall happens at night and usually confined to a relatively small area, usually about a county or two.
