Hot September

Temperatures in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming have been hot considering we are in September now. Below shows that the 2-m air temperature in the HRRR analysis for yesterday afternoon is above the 95th percentile temperature by several degrees.

My weather station in Spanish Fork registered a 100 degree temperature on Labor Day during our backyard BBQ. It was hot. Below shows the September 1-3 temperatures since 2013. This has been a warmer start to September than we are used to. Over the next week we will begin to cool down as the upper-level ridge moves further east. Then those fall temperatures will start to creep in.

Calibrated my Pressure Sensor

The pressure sensor at UKBKB Spanish Fork (aka EW2355 Spanish Fork), has read wrong since I installed the weather station several years ago. I finally borrowed a Kestrel 4500 from work to apply a correction to my pressure sensor. As a result, I reduced the pressure reading on my Davis Vantage Pro 2 by 4 hPa.

You can see the change in the MesoWest time series plot when pressure decreased 400 Pascals:

Raw CWOP Data

Just saving this for later...

the Raw CWOP data for my weather station is located here...
