About My Weather Station and its location

The hardware:

The weather data provided on this website is provided by a Davis Instruments Wireless Vantage Pro Weather Station.  The station was put into service on March 17, 2002 and has worked wonderfully since then. 

The software:

The Data is then converted into tables and digital images, packaged up and FTP'd to this website via Ambient Virtual Weather Station (Internet Addition) every 10 minutes.

The location:

The weather station is located in North Bend, Washington, on the south side of Interstate 90, between Exits 31 and 32.  The approximate latitude is: 47 degrees, 26 minutes, 50 seconds North.  The approximate Longitude is 121 degrees, 40 minutes, 8 seconds West.  The approximate altitude is 670 feet above sea level.

Readings:

Due to the location of the anemometer currently (6 feet off the ground), wind speed and peak gusts are not representative of the winds experienced in downtown North Bend.  Once I can procure a 40' ladder, the anemometer will be placed on my roof and will be far more accurate in providing wind data for the Snoqualmie Valley area.
