Rain Information Using NOAA?

[CFGuy]

I just installed the GoControl Z-Wave sprinkler controller, so I've been working on the logic to decide when (and for how long) to water my yard. I also use WeatherXML (which is awesome!) and I was using NOAA for my current data but found a note in the documentation that states clearly that "Rain Today" and "Rain Past Hour" are only available with Weather Underground, so I switched to that.

In another thread, I've also asked about including devices for the wunderground 10-day forecast fields qpf_allday so I can avoid watering today (or adjust the amount) based on the forecast for tomorrow (or 2-3 days out, I haven't figured out the best logic).

Is it possible to get any rain information using the NOAA Weather Location? Interested in rain information for Bremerton, Washington? Thanks much !!!! Rick

shill is correct. NOAA provides no rain info. Now that WU is no longer giving out API's I am trying to find someone that does.
