In the App Store, I’ve downloaded one called PWS Monitor. It allows me to “tap into” a local weather / backyard station. So I have access to a persons personal weather station in the Fenney area. I also follow some in Europe.

Im not sure how reliable it is, it’s been too wet to go outside and see what’s in my rain gauge. But it works for me.

2.30" on my PWS in Amelia since midnight Wednesday into today (2.11" since midnight today, Thursday as of this post). 47MPH max wind GUSTS.

PWS is nice because it's easy to read and is only a single station view, but Wunderground shows everything at once then you can zoom in to any single one.

Move around the map. You should be able to find a station within a few blocks of your home

And you believe we've had 30" of rain. I wouldn't think we had half that.

Sorry for my last reply. Tried to figure out how to delete, didn't happen. What I get for using my phone. I thought it said point #2 and 30".instead of 2.3, my bad.

By contrast, Weather Underground just tries to be accurate. I was getting contacted yesterday by friends around the country who were sure I was facing a killer hurricane. What? What we got yesterday, hour by hour, was pretty much what Weather Underground said to expect. Television news was not. Weather Underground is not always right, especially given the way we get brief downpours here that may soak a few neighborhoods while skipping others, but it’s the best we have.

That said, I think Weather Underground falls short in not giving us an easy way to know what the total rain was in the last day or week or month. The information may be there somewhere, but it’s a hard to find.

My PWS shows 3.45 inches for the event.

Spend about $10.00 & get a rain gauge for your yard. Or spend a little more & get one that you can read inside the house. Either way will give you a much more accurate reading for your location. Both are available at Lowes, Home Depot& Amazon.
