Thunderstorms and Heavy Rainfall in the Southeast, Montana, and Iowa; Lowell Begins to Impact Hawaii

Strong thunderstorms with damaging winds and heavy rain are expected across portions of the Southeast. Thunderstorms may produce large hail across portions of Montana. Heavy rainfall could produce flash flooding across Iowa and vulnerable areas in Utah. Lowell will bring heavy rain, dangerous swells and rip currents to portions of Hawaii. Sweltering heat persists across the South-Central US. Read More >

Weather observations are taken by forecasters and HMTs every six hours every day of the year. We will measure liquid precipitation, air temperature, and in the winter time we will also measure 6 hour snowfall and total snow depth. Shown here is our observation site (A and B), and our HMT Tabitha taking a rainfall measurement (C). After this is completed, we will review our temperatures using our Nimbus thermometer/display (D) as well as our automated weather station information (ASOS) (E). All measurements are then recorded (F) and sent to the web (G) for further use.
