Abstract

Accurate classification of rainfall intensity patterns is important for early warning systems, hydrometeorological risk assessment, and water resource management. Surface rain gauges have limited spatial coverage, so this study uses NOAA NEXRAD Level II radar data from the KTLX station in 2023. K-Means clustering was applied to identify rainfall intensity patterns from 30 randomly selected days, with scans stratified into four daily time intervals. Seven features were extracted from each radar sweep, including reflectivity statistics, convective and stratiform ratios, and rainfall coverage. The data were normalized and balanced before clustering. The optimal cluster count was determined through a combined evaluation of the Elbow Method, Silhouette Score, and Davies-Bouldin Index, yielding K=5 as the most representative configuration. Evaluation results demonstrated a Silhouette Score of 0.3871 and a Davies-Bouldin Index of 0.8599, indicating moderate cluster cohesion that reflects the inherent overlapping nature of rainfall intensity transitions in radar reflectivity data. The clusters represent rainfall regimes from non-precipitating conditions to intense convective events. These results support the use of K-Means for automated rainfall pattern recognition and flood forecasting applications.
