It is time for the Davis Vantage Pro2/Plus to be sent in for service. It has been running, non-stop, for almost 6 years and recently a couple of the sensors have begun to fail. More recently, the console itself failed.

While the Station is in for service, the Radar Image, Weather Cam Image (minus any station-supplied weather data), NWS Warnings, Advisories and Forecasts, Star Charts and other Astronomy information, Tide information, Mt. St. Helens Volcano image and the Clear Sky Clock will not be affected and are all still functioning normally. The Station and Console will be shipped to Davis for repair and refurbishment within the next week and should be returned to service hopefully before the end of October. I apologize for the inconvenience and will try to get the site fully functional as soon as possible. While the station is being repaired, please ignore the various weather guages, charts, and other station-supplied data displays. Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE: Sorry for the longer than expected delay in getting the station up and running. What with tight finances this time of year and the weather keeping us from getting to the station to bring it down, it will be right after the first of the new year before it gets sent to Davis. The Warning and Forecast information, the Astronomy charts and data, and the other items mentioned above continue to be current. Thank you for your patience.
