Station Summaries

Summarized data for weather observing stations in the county. HTML tables are provided for National Weather Service Cooperative Observer stations that have high-quality, long-term records and for Mesonet stations in the county. Cooperative Observer stations are preferred for temperature and precipitation information, because they have records extending back at least 30 years.

• Average number of days per month with certain temperature, precipitation, or winter weather conditions
• probable ranges of monthly temperatures and precipitation
