Dorrington Weather

Live from a private station at 4,774 ft in the Sierra Nevada

Two forecasts, side by side. The National Weather Service runs numerical models on a 2.5 km grid. This station runs century-old arithmetic on one barometer. They disagree often, and the scoreboard keeps an honest record of who was right.

From our own instruments

Zambretti outlook

Barometer only

Needs sea-level pressure, which comes from the BME688. That sensor is not attached yet, so there is nothing to forecast from.

The wind vane is already online, so this forecast starts at full strength the moment pressure arrives.

Tonight's minimum

Dew-point convergence

Needs outdoor temperature and dew point from the BME688 in the radiation shield. Not attached yet.
