The fast read from the connected Pool 12 river and weather sources.
Source check
Anything need a second look?
Fallback or partial sources are called out here so an unavailable upstream feed does not hide behind the score.
Observed precipitation
The NWS station is live but did not report a recent precipitation amount in the observation fields used by the site.
