By precipitation maps, do I understand correctly that you mean the maps which record the rainfall at various locales during a given storm? If so, they are used in the study of orography, which is the effect of the terrain on the weather above it. Certain areas, due to their topography, will receive more or less rain in any given storm. For example, in Southern California I know that when a storm comes through, the rain will be heaviest on the coastal slopes and lightest in the deserts. The variable precipitation data will be used, among other things, to issue point forecasts, which are a National Weather Service product tailored to individual cities and towns, and to improve the accuracy of future forecasts by increasing meteorologists' awareness of which areas will receive the most rain in a storm.
