I’m offering to perform this same kind of MADIS-inspired quality-control and calibration analysis for other personal weather-station owners. The analysis can examine data completeness, outages, nearby independent reference stations, duplicate feeds, temperature and humidity bias, pressure accuracy, wind multipliers, rainfall performance, and solar or ultraviolet readings where available. I would need at least 90 days of timestamped station. and for now I would analyze a maximum of one year. At minimum, I would also need the station location and elevation, hardware and sensor models, siting details, and any correction settings or known equipment changes. Anyone interested can direct-message me with their station information and available data. TLDR...... I take your station’s historical data and compare it against nearby independent weather stations, airport observations, MADIS/Xweather records, and local climate data. I clean the records, remove duplicate or unreliable stations, identify outages and bad readings, then measure how your temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, rain, solar, and UV differ from the best available references. From that, I produce a plain-language report showing what is accurate, what is biased, and which calibration settings should be kept, changed, or verified. I've slowly build it out.I’d describe the system as about 80% automated at this point. I collect the station and nearby reference data, then the system automatically cleans it, removes duplicate or unreliable feeds, identifies gaps, calculates biases, and generates most of the comparisons. I still manually review unusual results, confirm the best reference stations, and decide what calibration recommendations are scientifically defensible, and not just giving your wind data witch craft spells so it matches KMDT better and doesn't require rooftop thuggery.

About to be some major convergence of cells Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Laid out outflow boundary and orgraphic lift did rest for new cell development Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

My forcast went to zilch Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I also bought a good manual rain gauge so that I could start reporting to https://www.cocorahs.org/ I implore everyone here to start that. This area is hurting for people and it would actually make a real difference since there data is ingested for model verification. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I'm excited for this little toy to add to my sensor network. Hopefully will be here in a week. After that I'll have just about all the bases covered from ultrasonic winds to two rain gauges (one tipping bucket), to lightning detector, soil moisture at 5cm/30cm, soil temperature at 5cm along with conductivity, an indoor air quality sensor that has readings available at the 1, 2.5, 5, 10 ug level and CO2. The only little toys left are an evapotranspiration detector on back order that is sold as a "leaf wetness" detector and a really cool laser measurement one that is technically for water tanks but can be converted to snow measurement. That last one is so tempting but I feel like I would just be burning $70 with how little snow we've been getting around here. What I really need to do is get over my fear of heights a bit more so I can move my main sensor from 15 ft up to 25 ft Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I just got nicked so managed .05" but it happened in 3 mins which is 1" per hour rates Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I'm hoping we can get some steady rain. These fast downpours suck due to run off which does nothing to recharge groundwater Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

They all are going to be like that today. The AFD kept hammering how efficient the warm rain process will be today with tall skinny cape and warm clouds up to 11k ft. A little blob is going to put down a whole lot of rain. Someone is going to see 2"-5" today. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Heavy heavy rain in camp hill. These little cells are hyper efficient rain producers. I have a feeling the main issue today is going to be some bad flooding. The whole atmosphere is primed that way. Any storm damage is going to come from wet microbursts, but any wind is bad with weakend trees, now a wet upper soil. Uprooted trees are going to happen with any semi significant wind. Hopefully the bigger wind issues stay south today. I'll gladly take my chances with 5" of rain vs even a 40mph gust today Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I'm jealous of the sleeping weather over by Kansas city. Some areas there have had 4 to 6 hours straight of rolling thunder and moderate rain with that MCS slowly crawling. I'd take that so fast. Window open another to hear it all. I think it was summer 2011, that we had that week straight of overnight MCS as we sat on edge of heat dome. It was horrible during the day living in swampland, but every night for a week straight around 2-3am I awoke to thunder, lightning, rain from a slowly dying MCS. If I remember correctly the plants were turbo charged all summer from the plentiful moisture and heat. I feel like some of you still have records from cutting grass that summer.

I think I can find the radar. I texted my friend, but he's on his way to Brazil currently so we shall see. How are farmers summer crops coming along? Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Here are my updated heatwave rankings. It doesn't have the latest one in them simply because I need to wait till July passes to properly weight the temperature. I don't think most people know just how dry the summer of 1966 was, nor that our hotest summer by max temperature was 1949. The 1930's to 1940's were brutal here. Hot summers and crappy snow in the winter. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
