• High Temperature (past 24 hours, 8 AM yesterday to 8 AM today)
• Low Temperature (past 24 hours, 8 AM yesterday to 8 AM today)
• Current Temperature (8 AM today)
• Barometric Pressure (Optional - If reporting include the amount of change during the last 24 hours)
• Wind (Current speed and direction - may be estimated if you don't have an anemometer)
• Visibility (Horizontal distance you can see without weather obstruction)
• Sky Condition:
• Clear (less than 10% cloud cover) = CLR
• Partly Cloudy (50% cloud cover) = BKN
• Overcast (80% or more cloud cover) = OVC
• Fair (Mainly high thin clouds, no precipitation) = FAIR
• Fog  (Report in tenths of a mile - .1, .2, etc.) = FOG
• Rain (Steady rainfall) = RA
• Light Rain = -RA
• Heavy Rain = +RA
• Drizzle (Fine light rain) = DZ
• Snow = SN
• Light Snow = -SN
• Heavy Snow = +SN
• Trace of Rain or Snow (Not enough to measure) = T

     Snow is always measured in inches.  Round to the nearest inch.
     Use a simple ruler or yard stick.

     Wind reporting conventions:

        Direction       use 8 compass points-- N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW
                        Direction is always where the wind is blowing from.
                        That means if you face the wind, the direction
                        you are looking.

        Speed           Always MPH.  The speed shown should be an
                        average from about 1 minute.

        Gust            The highest wind during the last 24 hours.
 
        Visibility      Report in miles.  If less than 1 mile report in
                        tenths of a mile.

     Reporting Precipitation

                        Give the amount of liquid water that fell during
                        the last 24 hours.  Report in hundredths of
                        inches.
                        Examples 2.20"  or 0.00 inches.  T = trace.
                        Trace means the amount was too little to measure.

                        Avoid reporting DEW as a Trace of rain.
