frd Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Same here, looks dry all week. Rather windy tomorrow with low dew points meanwhile the Atlantic surf zone temps are rising fairly quickly with somespots already 56. Looked at the radar at 3 and 4 AM the activity was very spotty and missed most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 After that washout weekend, I’m now at 0.06” in the last two weeks. The pollen is everywhere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 .05" deluge last night. Enough to turn the 1/4-inch of pollen covering everything to a nice hardened coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really could use a region wide 2 to 3 inches of rain over a day to day and a half. December is only 8 months away. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I caved and popped an Allegra yesterday. Not much in the rain dept here overnight. We’re still La Nina’ing. I do accept these temps, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleocene Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Anyone want to recommend a decent weather station in the $100-$300 range? Looking for rain gauge, wind, UV, the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambient Weather WS-2000. https://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-WS-2000-Station-Monitoring/dp/B07GRBY9NP/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2646YYTZTN6KA&keywords=ambient+weather+ws-2000&qid=1681749734&sprefix=ambient+wea%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-5&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c3015c4a-46bb-44b9-81a4-dc28e6d374b3 I have both Tempest and WS-2000 stations (link in sig). Biggest disappointment in Tempest is rainfall "accuracy". The ultrasonic wind can also give false reports from honeybees and saturated surfaces from long periods of rain. Cup/blade rotating anemometers don't have this problem. The instrument is not really designed to be professionally mounted on a tower. I've been through 4 of them (currently on number 5). Good news is their support is first class. (never paid a dime for shipping either way and the last replacement was outside of the full two year warranty and was replaced free of charge.) Ambient Weather has a nice console that can be mounted on a wall. It should be plugged into a UPS or its power supply cord modified to work with a 5V USB battery bank. A power outage will clear reported max daily wind gust, for example. Its accuracy including rain is excellent. Also all parameters can be tuned via gain settings which may be useful. Soil moisture, lightning, air quality sensors can be added too. For non professional grade (PWS), it's quite decent. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 We shift patterns in the next 1-2 days. It has the feel of March, though, where 2012 wasn't going away as an analog. I think we will be back to above average into May. I can already see signs of it on D15-16 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globals are liking Saturday evening for rain. Deterministic solutions generally from 0.5” to 1.5” and ensembles over 0.75”. That would be extremely welcome.
