Change over at midnight added 0.01" of rain in the 1st minute after midnight.

And the NOAAReport is not showing any rain for yesterday (1 June) (see attached)

I see that now the NOAAReport has updated and is showing 0.56" rain for the 1st of June. But the log file still shows the added 0.01" added at the midnight change-over. Depending on where I look WD is showing both 0.56" and 0.57" rain for June 1st.

Added: Just wanted to mention that the Avg/Ext Local Climatological Data shows 0.56" for the first of June. But the total shown at the bottom of the rain column is showing 0.62". I believe it is adding in today’s rain amount of 0.05" to yesterday’s incorrect amount of 0.57" to arrive at the 0.62" figure.

The “extra” 0.01" of rain was input manually by me when I lost power yesterday during a lightning storm. When I rebooted my machine the import proceeded normally but missed one rain bucket tip during the import. So I added that after the import using the increase today rain on the import screen. It showed up on the WD console correctly at the time but didn’t show in the log file until after midnight.

If you want any data files let me know. It appears that WD knows about the 0.01" I manually added but it doesn’t show up in all rain readings. I’m going cross-eyed trying to track down all the places that WD records/graphs rain…so if you want any of my files let me know what you need and I will be glad to zip them up to you.
