Tropical cyclones (TCs; see Appendix A for a list of acronyms) are among the most devastating natural disasters in the tropics and mid-latitudes. They make for a triple-threat of wind damage, surge inundation, and inland/freshwater flooding, the last of which is a leading cause of fatalities in the United States from TCs (Rappaport, 2014). Accurate predictions of TCs are valuable to society because they facilitate targeted and efficient preparations for mitigating the loss of life and property.While forecasts of TC track and intensity have been continually improving over recent decades (e.g., Cangialosi et al., 2020;DeMaria et al., 2014), one important remaining challenge is accurate prediction of hazardous TC precipitation (Kidder et al., 2005). Hazardous TC precipitation events are difficult to predict because such events often result from hard-to-predict TC rain bands (e.g., Hurricane Harvey (2017); Blake & Zelinsky, 2018) and
