These are mainly associated with Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS).

Thanks for the links.  I was bored today and since it's getting to be that time of year, I thought it would be a good time to create a fire weather watches and warnings page.  So FWIW, here it is:

Harry, you should be very proud of your website! It is easily in the top 10 of best weather websites I've seen here on the forum! It kind of reminds me of Larry's (Neondesert) site back when he had his going. It is very clean and very professional looking!  8-) =D>

Yes, I am quite proud of my site.  I try to provide the best information I can without all the clutter which I know turns some people off.  And a BIG THANKS for the compliment.  It is very much appreciated.  Yeah, I remember Larry's site for sure.  It was awesome.  I never thought of my site being of that caliber but, most of the credit goes to Ken True & Co. for making such great templates to work with.  Thanks again.

No problem at all, and much deserving! One of these days I will go back to the template and try to make something as clean looking as that! Time is just not a commodity I have a lot of currently.  ;)

The MesoWest page is a great resource with a lot of options. They do include NWS, RAWS, and CWOP data and displays. Also, I like the Fire Monitor product that searches locations that have met fire wx parameters. Plus, any wx website without ads is most welcome.

Mesowest site is another fantastic site! We use it in my meteorology classes all the time at school.  8-)
