MesoWest 24-Hour Trend Monitor

MesoWest has been designed for use by National Weather Service meteorologists and other professionals for protection of life and property. Comments and suggestions for improvement are encouraged and can be sent to meteo-mesowest@lists.utah.edu.

The Trend Monitor provides access to current and 24 h trend information for all available weather stations within a user-defined radius of the object (placename, zipcode, lat/lon coordinate, or fire). The page reloads every 5 minutes. Longer records of each station within the selected region are also available by clicking on a station, then clicking on 'Past Data' in the left hand menu.

Settings

The user can change the settings as follows:

• The number of hours that a 24 hour trend is wanted for.
• network type: RAWS, NWS/FAA and RAWS, or all networks
• The search radius (in miles) from the object's location

Tabular Format

The first column contains the station name and identifier defined by participating agencies or firms. Long names are truncated. The second column contains the network name and elevation. The third column contains the local and UTC time of the observations. The next six columns contain the current reading of the weather variable followed by the 24 hour change. In the case of wind direction, the current value is given followed by the value 24 hours ago.

Stations can be ordered either alphabetically by name, or by elevation, by clicking on the appropriate link at the top of the tablular data.
