WXx Weather Station Event Report Guide
The WXx Weather Station Event Report is automatically generated every Monday and is emailed by WXx Weather to the address listed in the RAWS station record "Event Email Address" field. This report is distributed weekly for each station defined in WXx Weather that logs at least one event in the past week. While some events may be informational such as a change to the station metadata, there are other events that flag errors or problems with a station and may require some type of response from the technician in the field. This handy guide will help decipher the events commonly listed in the report.
