1/31/2016 7:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 1/31-mostly cloudy, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze was, once again, moderate due to very little air movement though what little there was came from the WNW to 3 mph, wind gust 2 mph, humidity 93%, dew point 28°, current snow level is still at 1500', observation time temperature was 21°, and the barometric pressure 29.98" and rising.
2/1/2016 7:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 2/01-partly cloudy, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze is light to moderate due in part, to very little air movement coming out of the NE to 1 mph, wind gust 3 mph, humidity 84%, dew point 24° {yesterday, the readings were 93% and 28° respectively}, current snow level is near 1500', observation time temperature was 20°, and the barometric pressure 30.11" and rising. Here are eom stats for JANUARY-1) total rain/snow: 2.96" or about 219% of average. The abundant precipitation of last month eliminated the rain deficit of 0.21" for DEC and hence, there is a surplus of 1.40" through JAN! 2) number of days without pecipitation: 11, 3) high BP: 30.74" on 1/01, 4) low BP: 29.74" on 1/05, 5) date with low BP and no precipitation: 29.82" on 1/22, 6) date with high BP and precipitation: 30.50 on 1/02-T, 7) average BP: 30.07", 8) average morning temperature-a) official minimum: 28.1°, b) digital: 30.3°, c) normal low: 21.7°, 9) low morning temperature-a) official minimum: 12° on 1/01, b) digital: 13.5° on 1/01. 10) high morning temperature-a) official maximum: 34° on 1/28 & 1/29, b) digital: 35.8 &36.3°on 1/28 & 1/29, 11) high morning temperature-a) official maximum: 37° b) digital: 35°, c) normal high: 35.7°, 12) low afternoon temperature-a) official minimum: 20° on 1/02, b) digital: 19.2° on 1/02, and 13) high afternoon temperature-a) official maximum: 49° on 1/28, b) digital: 43.9° on 1/28.
2/2/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 2/02-low clouds and fog; however, above the "gloom" the skies are partly cloudy, the haze is light to moderate due in part to very light air movement which is first out of the NNW at 6 mph, then from the North to 3 mph, wind gust 6 mph, humidity 82%, dew point 22°, current snow level is near 2500' [yesterday, it was near 1500'], observation time temperature was 26°, barometric pressure 30.21" and rising.
2/3/2016 7:37 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 2/03-overcast with widely scattered low clouds, no precipitation in the past 24, the haze contines to be light to moderate which has been the case for the last few days as a result of very little air movement which is first out of the North to 3 mph, then from the NW at 2 mph, wind gust 4 mph, humidity 76%, dew point 20°, current snow level is near 1500', observation time temperature was 24°, and the barometric pressure 30.33" and rising. Interestingly, not only is there a chance for some light snow in the area this afternoon, but also warmer temperatures are in store for the area next week.
2/4/2016 7:40 AM 0.09 1.3 0.09 1.3 0.09 Current conditions for 2/04-mostly cloudy (Cirrus, Cirrostratus and a Contrail), the haze is moderate as there is little air movement, humidity 88%, dew point 23°, current snow level is near 2500' [at this point in time, it appears that the snow level will be rising to a height of 12,000' which is rather high for this time of year and hence, should result in warmer temperatures by the weekend into early next week], observation time temperature was 18°, and the barometric pressure 30.23" and falling.
2/5/2016 7:40 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 2/05-overcast with low clouds to the East, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze is moderate due in part to little air movement (out of the NW to 1 mph) as a result of high pressure over the area, wind gust 3 mph, humidity 80%, dew point 28°, current snow level is near 6000' [yesterday, it was near 2500'], observation time temperature was 38°, and the barometric pressure 30.40" and falling. It appears that next week will feature a stretch of spring like weather for this area.
2/6/2016 7:35 AM T M M M M Current conditions for 2/06-an Altostratus overcast with widely scattered Cumulus, the haze continues to be moderate as air movement is first out of the NNE to 5 mph, then from the SW at 2 mph, wind gust 3 mph, humidity 67%, dew point 33° ( yesterday, the readings were 80% and 28° respectively), current snow level is near 2000' [yesterday, it was near 6000'], observation time temperature was 37°, and the barometric pressure 30.23" and rising. There is also a chance for spring like high temperatures in this area as a very strong ridge of high pressure builds over the area from tomorrow through at least Tuesday before it begins to break down. In addition, there is the chance that these high temperatures could challenge record highs during this period.
2/7/2016 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 2/7-mostly cloudy, no precipitation in the last 24, the gauge is encased in a thin veneer of frost/ice, the haze is light to moderate due in part to a strong ridge of high pressure over the region and hence, there is very little air movement; however, what little there is comes out of the NW to 3 mph, then from the East at 1 mph, wind gust 2 mph, humidity 87%, dew point 27° [yesterday, the readings were 67% and 33° respectively], current snow level is near 6000' {yesterday, it was near 2000'}, observation time temperature was 24°, and the barometric pressure 30.59" and rising. As a sidenote, after looking at both the GFS and NAM models, it appears that this strong "summer-like" ridge of high pressure will hang around through Tuesday before it begins to break down.
2/8/2016 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 2/08-partly cloudy (scattered Cirrus in addition to a deck of Cirrostratus from the North to the NE along with a few contrails), no precipitation during the overnight, the haze is light to moderate as there is light air movement first out of the North to 5 mph, then from the East at 1 mph, wind gust 4 mph, humidity 68% {yesterday, it was 87%}, dew point 28°, current snow level is near 12,000 [yesterday, it was near 6000'], observation time temperature was 25°, and the barometric pressure 30.67" and rising.

2/9/2016 7:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 2/09-partly cloudy (scattered Cirrus); since then however, the skies have cleared other than some scattered Cirrus to the North, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze is light to moderate due in part to the strong ridge of high pressure over the region {which at this point in time looks to persist over the area through Thursday-according to the GFS model-before breaking down and moving East} and hence, contributes to little or no air movement. In the meantime, what little air movement there is comes from the West to 8 mph, wind gust 1 mph, humidity 68%, dew point 29°, current freezing level is near 12,500', observation time temperature was 25°, and the barometric pressure 30.51" and falling.
2/10/2016 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 2/10-overcast, no precipitation in the last 24, a thin veneer of frost encased the front half of the gauge, the haze is moderate due in part to high pressure over the area (though it appears to be in the process of breaking down) which keeps air movement at a minimum. However, the wind gust is 2 mph, humidity 85% {yesterday, the reading was 68%}, dew point 31°, current snow level is near 7000' [yesterday, the freezing level was near 12,500'], observation time temperature was 28°, and the barometric pressure 30.28" and falling.

3/31/2016 6:55 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 3/31-mostly cloudy (scattered Cirus, Cirrostratus, plus a few Contrails), the haze is moderate to bad, no precipitation in the last 24, current freezing level is near 9500', observation time temperature was 39°, and the barometric pressure 30.08" and rising. As an interesting sidenote, yesterday's official high temperature of 76° eclipsed the old record of 73° on this date back in 1990!
4/1/2016 6:55 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/01-clear skies, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze continues to be moderate to bad due in part to a strong ridge of high pressure over the area, which therefore results in light air movement first out of the WNW at 9 mph, then from the SE to 3 mph, wind gust 5 mph, humidity 62%, dew point 40°, current freezing level is near 10,000', observation time temperature was 42° and the barometric pressure 30.14". As an interesting sidenote, yesterday's high of 81° not only was 22° above the normal high of 59°, but also eclipsed the record high of 78° on this date back in 1992!! Here are some interesting stats for MARCH- 1) total rainfall: 2.40" or about 185% of average. This total effectively raised the precipitation surplus from 0.89" to 1.99". 2) number of days without precipitation: 18, 3) high BP: 30.34" on 3/17, 4) low BP: 29.34" on 3/06, 5) date with low BP and no precipitation: 29.67" on 3/08, 6) date with high BP and precipitation: 30.09" on 3/15 (0.01"), 7) average BP: 29.94", 8) average morning temperature-a_ official minimum: 33.9°, b) digital: 36.2°, c) normal low: 31.4°, 9) low morning temperature-a) official minimum: 26° on 3/14, b) digital: 28.6°, 10) high morning temperature-a) official maximum: 46° on 3/22, b) digital: 48.2° on 3/22, 11) average afternoon temperature-a) official maximum: 59.2°, b) digital: 56.4°, c) normal high: 54°, 12) low afternoon temperature-a) official minimum: 41° on 3/01, b) digital: 40.3° on 3/01, and 13) high afternoon temperature-a) official maximum: 81° on 3/31, b) digital: 77.9° on 3/31.
4/2/2016 6:55 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/02-from mostly clear earlier this morning to partly cloudy (scattered Cirrus and Cirrostratus), no precipitation in the last 24 {and aside from a chance of rain Sunday evening, it looks as though next week will be mostly dry and possibly windy on Monday-due to a passing cold front}, the haze is moderate to bad due to the ridge of high pressure over the area which consequently results in light air movement that currently is out of the West at 12 mph, then from the SE at 3 mph, wind gust 5 mph, humidity 52% {yesterday, the reading was 62%}, dew point 42°, current freezing level is near 7500' {yesterday, it was near 10,000'}, observation time temperature was 41°, and the barometric pressure 30.06" and falling. By the way, yesterday's high temperature of 80° was not only 21° above the normal high of 59°, but also tied the record high on that date way back in 1992!!
4/4/2016 7:00 AM T M M M M Current conditions for 4/04-from mostly overcast with partial clearing to the West and NW [earlier this morning], to partly cloudy (scattered Cirrus, Cirrostratus (mainly toward the SE) and Cumulus-dominating variety), the haze is moderate as air movement is first from the NW at 17 mph, then out of the West to 6 mph, wind gust 13 mph, humidity 34%, dew point 29° {yesterday, the readings were 44% and 34° respectively}, current snow level is 4500' lowering to 3500 later this afternoon, observation time temperature was 50°, and the barometric pressure 29.94" and falling.
4/6/2016 6:55 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/06-although the skies are mostly cloudy (Cirrus Cirrostratus, and Altostratus), the sky toward the West is partly cloudy {mostly scattered Cirrus}, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze is moderate even though air movement is from the NW to 16 mph, then out of the South at 5 mph, wind gust 9 mph, humidity 39°, dew point 32°, freezing level is currently at 7500' rising to 10,500' later this afternoon, observation time temperature was 39°, and the barometric pressure 30.38" and rising.
4/7/2016 6:52 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/07-although the sky is mostly clear (widely scattered Cirrus and Cirrostratus), there is a lot of smoke in the area quite possibly due to a controlled burn thus making it difficult to see Burch Mountain to the North, Badger Mountain to the East and the ridge to the South. There has been no precipitation in the last 24, air movement is first from the WNW at 3 mph, then out of the North to 1 mph, wind gust 3 mph, humidity 59%, dew point 39° {yesterday the readings were 39% and 32° respectively}, current freezing level is near 12,500' [yesterday, it was near 10,500'], observation time temperature was 39°, and the barometric pressure 30.23" and rising.
4/8/2016 6:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/08-from mostly cloudy earlier this morning (scattered Cirrus and a few Contrails), to mostly clear skies (widely scattered Cirrus), no precipitation in the last 24, the haze/smoke is moderate to bad although air movement is first from the West at 12 mph, then out of the South to 3 mph, wind gust 6 mph, humidity 50% (yesterday, the reading was 59%), current freezing level is near 12,000' observation time temperature was 42°, and the barometric pressure 29.99" and falling. As an interesting sidenote, yesterday's high of 81° was not only 20° above the normal high of 61°, but also was just 1° short of tying the record high on that date way back in 1977!!
4/9/2016 6:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/09-except for a band of clouds from the North to the NE, the sky is clear, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze is moderate even though air movement is first from the West a 6 mph, then out of the South to 4 mph, wind gust 9 mph, humidity 39% [yesterday, the reading was 50%], dew point 37°, current freezing level is near 11,500' {and there are indications that it will continue to decline through most of next week}, observation time temperature was 50°, and the barometric pressure 29.69" and falling. By way of some interesting info, yesterday's high of 87° was not only 27° above the normal high of 61°, but blasted the record high of 76° by 11° on that date back in 1985 WOW!!
4/10/2016 6:48 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/08-clear skies, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze is still moderate, air movement is first from the West at 10 mph, then out of the South to 3 mph, wind gust 5 mph, humidity 48%, dew point 38°, current freezing level is near 9500' [yesterday, it was near 11,500'], observation time temperature was 42°, and the barometric pressure 29.82" and rising. Now even though yesterday's high of 85° was 24° above the normal high of 61°, it was only 6° above the record high of 79° on that date way back in '85!! instead of the 27° the day before.
4/16/2016 6:40 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Unfortunately, our computer was being serviced for the past few days so nothing was reported during this time; however, two days ago, 0.56" was recorded for the first measureable precipitation of the month. Current conditions for 4/16-partly cloudy (scattered Cirrus), no precipitation in the last 24, the haze is moderate, air movement is first out of the West to 7 mph, then from the NE at 2 mph, wind gust 5 mph, humidity 52%, dew point 35°, current freezing level is near 7000', observation time temperature was 37°, and the barometric pressure 30.33" and rising.
4/17/2016 6:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/17-mostly clear (scattered Cirrus along with a few Contrails), no precipitation in the last 24, the haze continues to be moderate as light air movement {due to strong high pressure over the area} is first out of the WSW to 9 mph, then from the East at 2 mph, wind gust 4 mph, humidity 54%, dew point 41°, current freezing level is near 11,000' [yesterday it was near 7000'], observation time temperature was 39°, and the barometric pressure 30.57" and rising. By way of an interesting note, the strong ridge of high pressure-mentioned above-should remain over the area for the next few days before "sliding east" and hence, record highs are a good possibility in this area.
4/18/2016 6:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/18-except for some scattered clouds (Cirrus) from the West to the North, the skies are clear, no precipitation in the past 24, the haze is moderate as light air movement is first from the West at 7 mph, then out of the NW to 3 mph, wind gust 3 mph, humidity 56%, dew point 42°, current freezing level is near 12,000' [yesterday, it was near 11,000'], observation time temperature was 41°, and the barometric pressure 30.26" and falling. As an interesting note, it appears that the warm temperatures (and quite possibly near record highs in this area) should persist through mid week before a cooling period commences that should continue through the week end.
4/19/2016 6:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/19-other than widely scattered Cirrus and two Contrails, we have clear skies, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze is moderate as light air movement is first from the West at 10 mph, then out of the East to 3 mph, wind gust 5 mph, humidity 53%, dew point 42°, current freezing level is near 12,500', observation time temperature was 44°, and the barometric pressure 30.10" and falling. Incidently, yesterday's high of 85° (in this area) not only was 20° above the normal high, but also squeaked by the record high of 84° by 1° on that date way back in '62!!
4/20/2016 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/20-except for some scattered Cirrus to the West and North, the skies are clear, no precipitation in the last 24, the haze continues to be moderate as light air movement persists first from the WNW to 10 mph, then out of the SE at 2 mph, wind gust 4 mph, humidity 46%, dew point 44°, current freezing level is near 12,500', observation time temperature was 45°, and the barometric pressure 29.92" and falling. By way of a note, though the next few days will be pleasant temperature wise, a cooling period is underway that will be especially noticed by the weekend and much of next week as the highs (for this area) should reach the mid to upper 60's. In addition, yesterday's high of 88° not only was 23° above the normal high of 65°, but also broke the rcord high 82° on that date was back in 1956!! WOW!
4/21/2016 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current conditions for 4/21-overcast (Cirrus and Cirrostratus), no precipitation in the last 24, the haze is moderate to bad as light air movement is first from the West to 6 mph, then out of the South at 2 mph, wind gust 5 mph, humidity 48% dew point 48°, current snow level is near 9000' [yesterday, the freezing level was near 12,500'], observation time temperature was 54°, and the barometric pressure 29.74" and falling. By way of interest, this area has experienced warm temperatures that have either tied or broken record high temperatures SIX times this month and yesterday was no exception as the high of 91° was not only 26° above the normal high, but also eclipsed the old record of 85° by 6° on this date way back in 1956!! I believe another WOW is in order!
