though the lat lon puts it in East Columbia

ah, added to USGS 16 mins after the event, centered in Riverside, MD

it's not showing up on the USGS list, but that sure felt like a small quake

Small earthquake in Central MD a moment ago?

DIPAs. The closest we're gonna get is Miller Lite.

Could not find a wired version on the Ambient site. Does one exist? I'd like to avoid the cost of installing batteries repeatedly. Around here, people want $500 to bring a ladder and climb to the roof. Siting wind instruments closer to the ground won't give reliable readings.

Help! Lightning zapped my ~40 year old Heathkit ID-4001 wx station, so I'm looking a replacement. So far, I've found no unit that can substitute for the following ID-4001 features important to me: * red color digits are visible during day, but not too bright for the bedroom at night * digits large enough to be discerned from 10 feet away * wind direction and speed displayed in real time (no latency) The 4001 cost roughly $2500 in today's dollars, so I'd go that far for something with a similarly-functional display. All modern stations I see online have displays too bright for night and/or digits too small to read from a distance. I don't need lots of stats, nor wifi. Indoor/outdoor temp, baro, real-time wind, and clock will suffice. What model might be the closest to what I seek? Alternatively, does anyone repair old Heathkits?

Thanks WVclimo, but I get same expired response at www.weather.gov. I've been using a university site to access LWX AFDs but they don't mirror the forecasts.

is there a site mirror for NWS forecasts? the usual one has been inacessible all month: "forecast.weather.gov uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired."

125/69 in my attic

power already flickering here as first sound of distant thunder arrives

storm severity was a surprise, power out more than 6 hours, measured 0.60"

I'd estimate 1" in past 24 hours W of BWI, my digital gauge was reading too low because it had a tiny leaf interfering with its tipping bucket, interesting that it was still registering a non-zero amount despite the leaf
