  1. PDX up to 111°/112° again. Salem, OR (SLE) 117°
  2. Running 2° warm all of the time is draining.
  3. The problem is the sensor is enclosed…it has a lot of thermal mass and slower response time. A FARS is superior to a passive shield as well. So even though it’s the same sensor the other factors make a huge difference. If you want the most accurate temps possible…you pretty much need to go with a FARS. Maybe a station on the beach or on a summit sees negligible difference.
  4. You can do wireless with a Davis. Do you actually have a spot to site it properly or would it be on a balcony against the side of the building? There’s not a lot of point spending mid range money on a station if the rain and wind is getting blocked by a building and you have radiated heat affecting temp reading from a roof or vent. If you’re around the $150-200 mark you’re talking Ambient. $350-400 and it’s a Davis Vue. $600 and it’s a Davis VP2 with FARS. $1k and you’re getting into the high end Davis with solar/uv/soil sensors.
  5. Brief shower just went through…only enough to make it more humid. Looks like round 2 for the lakes. Hopefully we can bet something measurable through here.
  6. 100F to 106F at PDX in 10 mins.
  7. We pray. A little cell just popped west of here.
  8. CON, DAW, PWM, IZG, and SFM up to 36C (96/97). SW ME and SE NH roasting today.
  9. BOS really sticks out there...a good 2-3F too warm?
  10. Get me an inch of rain and you can have your nice weekend.
  11. Already 100F at Portland-Troutdale...12F ahead of the 88F at this time yesterday. They hit 112F yesterday as well.
  12. CON 94/69 Slightly better mixing up here vs SNE
  13. Haven’t seen a gypsy here in a few years
  14. How are those not preventable?
  15. As far as I know they're all shagbark. That bottom one has struggled a bit.
