The Interpolate to Basin Precip command in the Interpolation menu is designed to interpolate rainfall values at scattered points to the xy series representing rainfall for a basin in either HEC-1 or TR-20. The scattered points typically represent either gaging stations or radar locations for NEXRAD data. Unlike interpolation to grids, this command does not use the active interpolation method, but rather uses the Thiessen method in order to assign the weights of each scatter point for each basin.

In addition to interpolating rainfall values to basin centroids it is often convenient to interpolate the rainfall values to a grid so that an animation sequence of a storm can be generated. The Bounding Grid options described below is useful for setting up a grid for this purpose.
