4/27/2017 6:15 AM 0.31 M M M M Light rain at time of OB. Observed light rain at 9:50pm. Also noted that pavement was not very wet, so it was inferred that rain had started short time beforehand.
4/28/2017 6:35 AM 0.12 M M M M Rain early in the morning hours ending around mid-morning. 0.12" as of 1pm. Brief spitty drizzle observed at 4:22pm and a heavier, longer lasting light drizzle again at 4:45pm. Suspect that was the way it went for much of the afternoon period, as waves of clouds moved through the area.
4/29/2017 6:25 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A trace almost certainly had to have fallen at some point from the heavily overcast skies during this cold and windy period, but it was never observed.

5/12/2017 6:20 AM T M M M M This is a tough call to make. There was essentially no dew at the station this morning. The gauge is always held upside down for ten seconds whenever positive readings are made in order to ensure gauge is completely empty to start the new OB period. Therefore, confidence is high that reading is a result of precip. No precip was observed during the OB period, so any precip would have fallen overnight.
5/13/2017 6:15 AM T M M M M Several light drops of precip were observed - physically felt - at 5:28am. Otherwise, mostly sunny for the period. Light dew at time of OB.

6/12/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hot and decently breezy.
6/13/2017 7:00 AM T M M M M The weather for the period was hot and dry, sunny with a light winds, until late in the evening strong gusts came up to signal the passage of a front. At 8:52pm, when the wind began blowing strongly, a blast carried the smallest drop of moisture, which I felt, and a second one, perhaps half as small. They may have been the only two drops of precip that fell here during the period of observation, but if they were, they both hit me.
6/14/2017 6:50 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip, but hopes were raised at 2:23am, when the smell of it woke up the staff here at the station. Thunder could be heard off in the distance and flashes of lightning were seen due east of of the station and a little south of it, out over the lake when a staff member ventured outside when they remembered that they had left their car windows rolled down. No trace of rain was seen nor felt during time out to the driveway; nothing but the smell. Not as hot for the period, pleasantly cool, in fact, comparatively, with light winds. No dew at time of OB.
6/15/2017 7:00 AM 2.11 M M M M Minutes after 2pm, a short burst of big,fat,heavy raindrops fell for a short time; five minutes or less. The pavement was not fully wetted down when it stopped. Around 2:40, it began raining again, light and sporadically, for ten minutes or so before becoming steady, then hard. At approximately 3pm, pea size hail started falling. That lasted for less than ten minutes,, but the rain kept coming. There was a break around 4pm, maybe later, for about 40 minutes before more heavy rain started falling at 5:10pm (approx.) Rain stopped a short time after 6 or so. Sorry for the lack of precision surrounding the timing of events.
6/16/2017 7:00 AM 0.34 M M M M Total largely the result of early morning rain event beginning at 7:28am. It was a good, steady rainfall until tapering to a drizzle at 7:43am. By 7:50am it was done. Thunder was heard not too far in the distance. There was a light rain around 1am. Light, spitty rain at time of OB.
6/17/2017 7:30 AM 0.19 M M M M A trace amount was delivered early in the period, then sunny and warm. At 1:10am, it was just starting to rain as I let the dog out. No info on how long it lasted or how much fell at that time. It had apparently been raining a short time before OB.
6/18/2017 7:00 AM 0.13 M M M M A trace of rain arrived in the morning, around 8:30-9am. 5:17pm, it began raining and stopped at some point; I think around 6pm, it was not raining. Gauge check at 7:30pm showed 0.02". It began raining again at 7:32pm, but not for long. 8:26pm, another wave of rain started falling. By 8:53, it was a good, steady rain and flashes of lightning were observed, thunder in the distance. At 9:10pm, the rain increased in intensity and at 9:20pm, precisely, a strong wind buffeted the station. Obvious signs of precip shortly before 5:30am.
6/19/2017 6:55 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Beautiful weather for the period.
6/20/2017 6:15 AM 0.28 M M M M Brief shower at straight -up 11am. Hard rain arrived a minute or two after 3pm, lasting 45 min or so. Thunder heard to the east, out over the lake, at 3:17pm.
6/21/2017 6:35 AM 0.01 M M M M Most of the precip for the period fell during a brief shower around 12noon. There were some drops felt at 3:01pm and a sunshower at 3:32pm that dropped nothing more than a trace. Significant dew at time of OB.
6/22/2017 7:00 AM T M M M M A spot of rain began falling just as I went to collect data at 6:50, so I figured I'd let the clock run to the top of the hour. The rain ended in less than a minute, without wetting down any surfaces.
6/23/2017 6:50 AM 0.48 M M M M Overnight storm total; thunder and heavy rain. Still stray drops of rain falling at time of OB.

6/30/2017 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Bulk of the total measurement arrived in the early morning hours of period, not too long before data collection. Slight precip, akin to lightest mist or heavy humidity, was felt twice around 4pm. Light rain around the six o'clock hour which didn't completely wet the surface of the driveway.
7/1/2017 6:40 AM 0.01 M M M M Overcast conditions prevailed throughout the period, however precip must have fallen overnight. Not sure the dew is that heavy, though it is moderate at time of OB.
7/2/2017 6:30 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bee-yoo-tee-full weather for the period. Moderate dew at time of OB
7/3/2017 6:55 AM 0.04 M M M M Entry log: 2:45pm - Skies darkened. 3:10pm - A drop was felt. At some point, way off to the south, thunder was heard. 4:38pm - The first drop of what developed into a shower at 4:40pm was felt. 4:40pm - Light shower. 4:43pm - Shower ends. 4:59pm - Strong wind gusts and a few drops were felt. 5:08pm - Heavy rain starts falling. Lasts about ten minutes. 5:25pm - Sun comes back out, but there is a light drizzle, or fizzle, still falling. 5:56pm - It's noted that there is no longer any precip falling. 7:34pm - A few misty droplets of precip are felt. This is likely the way it goes for the rest of the evening.
7/4/2017 6:40 AM 0.02 M M M M Overnight precip, not sure when. Moderate dew at time of OB.
7/5/2017 6:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Great weather, sunny, dry, and cool. Moderate dew at time of OB.
7/6/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another great period of summer weather. Moderate dew at time of OB.
7/7/2017 7:00 AM 0.17 M M M M Overnight rain total; thunder was heard, time uncertain. thunder was heard to the northeast, not too distant, at approximately 2pm.
7/8/2017 6:45 AM 0.04 M M M M Late evening rain observed already in process at 10pm. Moderate dew at time of OB.
7/9/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bee-yoo-tee-full weather for the period; sunny and cooler. Light dew at time of OB.
7/10/2017 7:00 AM 2.72 M M M M 8pm straight up - The first bit of detectable falling moisture was felt, a drop so slight that to call it anything more than precipitation would be an exaggeration. 8:34pm - A second bit of precip, slightly heavier than the first, was felt. 8:35pm - A light drizzle commenced falling. The sound of it hitting a sheet of black plastic laid out on the ground was the unmistakable indication of it. It stopped a short while later, started up again and stopped, perhaps several times over the next 20 minutes. 8:55pm - Heavier drizzle began falling. It too, stopped, may have restarted, on and off for the rest of the evening, during which the smell of rain was detected. 2:31am - Awake at that hour, the sound of falling rain was first observed. Rain became heavy, accompanied by thunder and lightning close by. Still raining lightly at time of OB.
7/11/2017 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Total is largely a result of rain that was falling at time of previous period's OB. That event ended sometime mid-morning and the gauge was reading 0.01" at that time. Around 1pm, there was a light, light drizzle, and again around 3pm or 4pm there was a heavier, more sustained drizzle that delivered no more than a trace, nonetheless.
7/12/2017 7:00 AM 3.19 M M M M Overnight rainfall was torrential. Measurement of this downpour is likely under-reported as a result of rain splashing out of the collection funnel. The precip diary for the period as follows: 3:24pm - Noticed it was drizzling. 4:47pm - A light sprinkle. 6:16pm - Scattered sprinkles. 6:56pm - Raining, observed. 7:09pm - Raining ceased, observed. Overnight - Strong storm with torrential downpours and thunder. 10:41pm, lightning was visible in sky overhead, largely devoid of audible thunder. At time of OB, the skies are darkening and thunder is heard.
7/13/2017 7:15 AM 2.34 M M M M Rain finally stopped late afternoon. Measurement likely under-represents true total rainfall as a result of the unexpectedly hard rain splashing out of the collection funnel. Mud caked on the vegetation at the station location indicates that soil was splashed up as high as 16". No doubt that a significant amount of rain was regrettably deflected by funnel.
7/14/2017 6:50 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warm and overcast for the period, things are drying out. Moderately light dew at time of OB.
7/15/2017 6:45 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Cooler and overcast. Moderately heavy dew at time of OB.
