CarlislePaWx Posted Saturday at 12:26 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:26 AM 0.59" here in Carlisle this afternoon. Moderate to occasionally heavy rain in two bursts from 3:00 to 3:45 dropped 0.31". This was followed by a lull for 30 minutes, then light to moderate between 4:15 and 5:30 dropped 0.28". Was very fortunate to have not lost power from either day over the weekend. Saturday I escaped the worst. Sunday was a different story experiencing a severe thunderstorm (warned by NWS about 10 minutes earlier) with 60-70 mph gusts and a large tree branch broke off and crashed into the roof of my shed, basically destroying it. Some patio furniture got soaked, but nothing was damaged. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s time to head to Hilton Head SC for vacation haha. Got it mounted and set up right before I left to have data to track when I’m gone! I loved the unit but sadly I had 5 of them fail on me at the jersey shore - great customer service though as they replaced them every time. Finally gave up and went back to a vantage vue down the shore. I also have a poorly sited one at home in East Nantmeal it has run for 5 plus years but loses power now during cloudy winter days.

ChescoWx Posted Saturday at 03:02 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:02 PM Rain chances increase again later this afternoon with the best chances between 3pm to 8pm. A couple beautiful days on tap both Sunday and Monday with temperatures slightly cooler than average for mid-July. We start a solid warm up on Tuesday and may see widespread 90+ temps for one day on Wednesday. Still hot but "only" in the upper 80's both Thursday and Friday.

Sorry about your bad experience! Mine was put to the test yesterday with that batch of storms that moved through. Even though I wasn’t home, I was getting plenty of lightning alerts and rain start notification. I have the Nearcast rain feature turned off to make sure I get the raw rainfall amount recorded for my backyard. It recorded .11 which correlates well with two other nearby stations…one recorded .12 and the other .15. So far so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago A great couple of days ahead with temperatures running slightly cooler than average for the dates before a warmup gets underway on Tuesday. Some of our cooler valley spots may see low temperatures in the 50's by tomorrow morning. Our hottest day and best chance for widespread 90's across the County will be Wednesday. We cool a couple of degrees from there to close out the work week. Not much chance of any showers through at least Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yardstickgozinya Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Has anyone heard any annual cicadas yet his year ? Last year was a very weak year for them in my area, and this year doesn't seem like it'll fare any better. I thought the rain would help some emerge, but still nothing.

Jns2183 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 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.
