Note : The hourly and daily precipitation

totals are printed in the last 2 columns and
hi-lighted in red when they disagree. NWS
does not edit ASOS hourly values but may
edit daily and monthly totals. Hourly,
daily, and monthly totals are printed as
reported by the ASOS site.

Wind direction is recorded in tens of degrees

(2 digits) clockwise from true north. '00' =
calm, 'VR' = variable.
Precipitation is for the 24-hour period
ending at the time indicated in the column
heading.
Water Equivalent of snow on the ground
is reported only when the depth is 2 or

Beginning with the January 2013 LCD, monthly mean
temperature calculations have changed to the National
Data Stewardship Team standard. Monthly maximum and
minumum temperature are not rounded until after monthly
mean temperature is calculated. This is the most
accurate outcome, but may be slightly different from the
mean derived from rounded monthly maximum and minimum.

Satellite data are used to derive cloudiness above

12,000 feet. Effective Cloud Amount is based on
the cloud cover and the transparency of the
clouds within the satellite field of view (approx.
31x31 miles).
Sky Condition is based on the sum (not to exceed
8) of the sunrise to sunset cloud cover below and
above 12,000 feet. Both ceilometer and satellite
data must be present to compute Sky Condition.
Clear = 0-2 oktas, Partly Cloudy = 3-6 oktas,
Cloudy = 7-8 oktas.

CLOUDINESS

MINIMUM

Resultant wind is the vector sum of the wind

speeds and directions divided by the number
of observations.

Ceilometer (30-second) data are used to derive

cloudiness at or below 12,000 feet. This
cloudiness is the mean cloud cover detected
during sunrise to sunset (SR-SS), or midnight to
midnight (MN-MN).

SUNSHINE

TOTAL

* = Extreme for the month (last occurence if

more than one).
T = Trace precipitation amount.
