Comments

Station is located in an established turf area, surrounded on 3 sides by alfalfa fields. The turf is well maintained and sprinkler irrigated by the cooperator. However, sprinkler irrigation from the alfalfa fields can accumulate in the rain gauge and be reported as precip. Until corrected, precip will not be reported.
