Not sure if this is the same station.

MEMRC1 is locacted about 3000 ft north north west from the visiter center on the east side of lakebed.

try www.wunderground.com
scroll to bottom of page for El Mirage and it shows all the reporting stations near.

These coordinates show location  34.634514,-117.54884
put into google maps search and use satellite view.

sorry for the dup info

[Dean Los Angeles]

The National Weather Service station / Wunderground station at El Mirage is 5 miles from Tiny's location.

Not surprising that the rain gauge there didn't show any rain and Tiny shows 3/4 of an inch. The storm was very compact and violent.

Ton of rain if you were in the path and nothing right outside the path.

The other detail about watching the weather stations is virga.
While the radar shows percipitation it may not quite make it to the ground.

Hi guys  guess what  this picture was taken at noon TODAY.  There is also high humidity, and more rain is expected   Only about 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep, but thats what didn't soak in already. Not very hot, or windy

[John Noonan]

With that much water alone not to mention the possibility of more before the meet I am resigned to not running this weekend...looks like I get to spend time with my visiting mother in law...

You guys can cut and paste all you want, but I live here.  138 is closed,phelan rd. is closed, hwy 18 closed, all from running water, to be open soon.  EL MIRAGE...... NOT A DROP  today. The lakebed has it's OWN weather conditions, so if you aren't right there on the spot you can't know, only guess what is going on.  I happen to live right up the hill (7 miles south) of the lakebed, and have a GREAT view of the whole course and don't have to speculate. Yesterdays rain drenched the WEST END ONLY, the east 60% is bone dry.But if there is even 1 puddle left the BLM won't open the lakebed. But don't worry Mud Patrol has already been taken of if we don't race this weekend. So stay tuned and I will try and keep you posted with the drying.

Don Ferguson said he will post on the SCTA web site as the only official info as if it will happen or not. He is going tomorrow to look at the lake bed.
