Dorrington Weather

Live from a private station at 4,767 ft in the Sierra Nevada

Two forecasts, side by side. The National Weather Service runs numerical models on a 2.5 km grid. This station runs century-old arithmetic on one barometer. They disagree often, and the scoreboard keeps an honest record of who was right.

Tonight's minimum

Dew-point convergence

Issued once a night, in the hour or so before sunset — about 6:43 PM today. The forecast converges on the dew point measured at dusk, so running it at noon would produce a confident number and the wrong one.
