NWS Grand Rapids Media Workshop New ASOS Climate Sites, FP Upgrade George Wetzel, Observation Program Leader

New AM RTP Product/LSR and PNS Produced to capture the morning lows after 7/8 am During summary LSR’s and round up PNS’s after an event we will work to remove redundant reports from the same location. If the reports are from different locales in the same town we will use LAT/LAT to isolated the area. Cross streets work as do addresses. We ask that as you receive reports and time permits for you to pass along any and all reports to us….if they seem strange or unbelievable call and do an NWSChat Sidebar. The more info about a report location the better. I have started crediting the media and individual sources as time permits as well. I

Upgrading Fischer and Porter Accumulating Rain Gages Located at 8 COOP sites – Montague, Kent City, Stanton, Hastings, Jackson, East Lansing, Scottville, Grand Haven Upgrade of all site complete by July 1 st. Nearly all moving parts removed Will place a load cell and a datalogger for monthly downloads. Not real time but within a month or so.

FPR FP gages

Added Climate Stations Added JXN, BTL, AZO, BIV to our Database. Will get a set of normals from NCDC by June. Publishing of an F6, and CLI product when approved. Will likely turn off precipitation reporting either year round or during the cold season. Back up COOPs for snow not likely at this time but if some

NWS GRR Snow Circle Only measured at 00z, 06z, 12z, and 18z. Also, measured at the end of the day. We measure snow here

Types of Weather Stations and Data Automated Surface Observing Sites (ASOS, AWOS) – Located at airports. Some are manned Cooperative Network Observers (COOP) – Volunteer Observers gather high/low/rain/snow/river. Some over 100 years Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network – CoCoRaHS Volunteers across the state enter data daily. Less stringent requirements than the NWS. Precipitation and hail only.
