8/3/2016 7:15 AM 0.03 M M M M 0.030 inches in cocorahs 4" gage. Small leaf in the funnel was removed (not sure if it was blocking water from making it into the funnel that then evaporated). Davis 8" gage had 7 tips of the bucket (which is why I wonder about the leaf). Ah, four tips occurred within a span of 1 second which is highly suspicious, maybe an electrical issue while recording a single tip? These four tips were around 14:16, the remaining tips around 14:40, 15:03, and 15:31. Let us say there were really only four tips of the bucket.

8/19/2016 7:20 AM 0.69 M M M M 0.688 inches in cocorahs 4" gage. Davis 8" gage had 80 tips of the bucket recorded, six of which were suspect (i.e. were above 1 tip per second). So calling it 74 tips of the bucket. The suspect "tips" were at/near the time of frequent lightning and a short power outage. Suspect tips were around 18:33:42 and 18:33:43 (+/- a couple minutes). First tip was around 17:58, last tip around 22:59. Most tips per minute was ten tips per minute during both 18:37 and 18:38, and next most was 18:39 with 9 tips. In other words, around .28 inches fell in three minutes. Observed sparse giant raindrops around 6 pm, then rain in earnest a few minutes later, heaviest rain from 6 to 7 pm, with power flickering once or twice, and lightning/thunder within 1 mile.

9/2/2016 6:50 AM 1.00 M M M M 0.995 inches in cocorahs 4" gage. Davis 8" gage had 6620 tips of the bucket, obviously most of which were bogus. Around 6 pm, there had been 102 tips of the bucket and the same amount of water (~1.0 inches) in the cocorahs gage, which was after the rain had stopped. Those tips seem legitimate except for perhaps the last one. So between 101-102 tips. First legit tip was around 16:56, last legit tip (102nd) was around 17:56. One inch fell in one hour. Four minutes were the heaviest with seven tips per minute each: 17:17, 17:18, 17:24, 17:26.

Most tips in a single minute was 4 tips around 13:04. I think this is the widest discrepancy between the gages seen so far, and I think the first time cocorahs gage has reported more than the Davis gage, usually it is the other way around. A few days ago I reduced the number of false tips after discovering the patio door caused some when closing it on the wire. But I doubt that accounts for the discrepancy in this case.

Observed around 10 tips that showed up accurately (I can see the water fall out of the gage, and can see on screen when a tip registers). So not sure if there were extra false tips before, or if there are fewer tips now. Regardless, the timing information seems good. First tip around 11:12, fourteenth tip around 11:34, fifteenth tip around 13:37, 28th tip around 13:43, 29th tip around 18:53, 30th tip around 18:58, 31st tip around 19:39, 32nd tip around midnight, 33rd tip around 03:25, 34th tip around 05:48, 35th tip around 06:16.
