Longer than the 80 years of record
The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 80 years of values from 1901 to 2012.
A return level is an estimate. It is least reliable for the long periods, 50 and 100 years, and for any period longer than the record behind the fit, where the fit has to reach past the largest day actually observed. It is not a forecast.
The largest wettest-day totals in the fit: 86.4 mm (3.4 in) in 1926; 67.3 mm (2.6 in) in 1952; 55.9 mm (2.2 in) in 1965.
Station Changes
1 suspected
One change was suspected in the annual mean temperature of Tuba City, at 1988. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1988 ran 0.7 C (1.2 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).

Possible change at the station (a move, a new instrument or a new site); the record is kept as measured. A "likely" change has a larger test statistic than a "possible" one. Neither says why the station differs from its neighbours. How changes are found, and the largest ones.
