The active monsoon season will continue the rest of the week and the flood threat today stretches from the Arizona to portions of the Intermountain West. Meanwhile, a humid and moist air mass ahead of a cold front may result in heavy rain and flooding from the Mid-Atlantic to the eastern Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Finally, slow moving storms may produce flooding for the central Gulf Coast states. Read More >

By default, this page will load with all station data collected in the last 72 hours, with the station identifier as the "site" variable in the URL
Example: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=kslc
If the station reports Temperature, Relative Humidity, or Dew Point Temperature, a chart will be available with those elements to examine.
Below the chart, a table will appear with 72 hours worth of data from that station. Hovering over certain headings will reveal a "magnifying glass" cursor. That means that if you click on that heading, data for that element will load into the chart. Note: Data availability varies by station.
The default station chart contains Temperature, Dew Point Temperature, and Relative Humidity. If a station has not reported any of those elements during the requested period, no chart will be available.
The chart has a limitation where 1000 data points per element can be displayed. For longer duration datasets, with multiple reports per hour, this will exceed the charting capability. Therefore, data will be trimmed when it exceeds 1000 datapoints, and will then display every 2nd, 3rd, etc point. If you require high resolution charts, the "Historical Data" option will be helpful.
To view charts for additional elements, using a mouse, move the cursor over the element headings. If a "magnifying glass" cursor appears, it means that if you click on that heading, data for that element will load into the chart. See image below.
The following weather elements are available for viewing in a chart. Note: Data availability varies by station.

Clicking the "Settings" icon will open an area where you can select different viewing parameters.
Cloud height sensors can measure clouds up to 12,000 feet above the ground, when the cloud is directly above the sensor.
This limitation can result in "Clear" conditions being reported, when clouds are above 12,000 feet.
At major airports, this information can be augmented by a trained observer, who can also determine heights greater than 12,000 feet.
Precipitation (precip) can be measured 2 different ways: Using a weighing mechanism, or by using a tipper.
Precipitation is reported in 5, 10, 15, 30, or 1 hour increments. Values for 3, 6, or 24 hour precipitation are extrapolated from those reports, and are displayed hourly, or every 3, 6, or 12 hours (for 24 hour precip).
If a station reports precipitation, the "top line" of data will always include precip over the last 1, 3, 6, and 24 hours, relative to that time.
Snow depth is generally measured by probes mounted above a surface. They measure the distance between the probe and a surface. As snow accumulates or melts/blows away, that measurement will change.
"Snowfall" calculations are made by taking the snow depth measurement at a given time, and subtracting the snow depth from 3, 6, or 24 hours previous to time the current snow depth value was recorded. Negative values are not recorded.
If a station reports snow depth, the "top line" of data will always include snowfall over the last 1, 3, 6, and 24 hours, relative to that time.
Data can be downloaded by clicking the 3 lines in hte upper right corner of the chart, and clicking "Download CSV or Download XLS"
