Rain at elmo??

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Well, about #90 == I didn't work my way back through the stuff, but I've never figured out on the NOAA weather site where to find current/recent precip. totals.  On the local site, for instance, I'll try to find how much we got in that downpour yesterday -- and see a trace here, .01" there -- no totals, no summaries.  If there's a total column -- I haven't found it.

Slim:When you type in a city you get a "point forecast" for the city center. It is never a weather station, but a computer model of that point. You can pan on the map displayed and click anywhere for a better forecast of a particular point location. The map shown is a point several miles south of the lake bed.

On the link you posted scan down the right side under Current Conditions near the current temperature.

Click on More Local WX:
This gives you a list of the weather stations around the point location.
There is a link for the El Mirage weather station. It sits 5 miles southeast of the SCTA building and 3/4 mile north of the entrance station.
It gives the 3 day summary for that location. In the upper left corner is a link for the 7 day summary.

This works for any location. Not all stations collect rain data.

If you return to the main page go further down to Additional Forecasts and Information and click on Hourly Weather Graph. It gives detailed hourly temperatures, wind and rain graphs. It's going to rain starting 10pm Tuesday night. For El Mirage the graph for wind and gusts is always helpful.

If you go to this one from page 1 it gets you right to the El Mirage weather station data. Data in this format is only available where an automated reporting weather station exists.

The weather sucks here in Utah. Way to much rain. The yearly rain fall is about 8". We got got that in two days last week and now it's raining again (all day) and snow that will turn into slush tomorrow. Sure hope the river is going to handle all of it. :-P

Hey Glen,where exactly you at? I truck through SW Utah over to Richfield,then head for Fallon,NV via US50. Was good when I left yesterday,but I heard it was snowing this morning.
In Phoenix right now and its been raining since Kingman. Been looking around for an old dude with a beard,a funky huge boat and a grip of livestock..........
