The weather station is located at the Range atop one of the range control lighting posts near the CMP firing line. The information in the blue bar is updated every 5 min but information in the blue bar is only a fraction of the information available in the Tempest weather app. Clicking on any of the four Items in the blue box – Wind Speed, Temperature, Barometric Pressure, Rain – will open the Tempest app.

Be aware that the AT&T connection to the weather station and app is fragile and you should always check the the status – online or offline – on the weather app before relying on the readings as the app will report the last valid readings it received , even if that was days ago because the system has gone off line. Toward the bottom of each of the apps pages and on the right side is a small indictor that reports the status – either a green bubble and online is displayed or offline and a red bubble shows up. If online, the values in the app are displayed in real time if offline the information is the last it received before it lost communication.

If you see an offline status contact an officer or board member as someone needs to go out to the ranges to reset the connection with AT&T.

The Tempest App opens on a page that has two sections, one with detailed information in real time and the other with hour by hour 8 day forecast information. You can swap back and forth with the odd looking Icon that might be a cloud (?) found in the second line on the right side. That cloud icon changes to another odd looking icon when in the forecast section, clicking on that icon takes you back to the first section. Each of the bars of information in both sections opens up showing greater detail. For example each of the days listed in the 8 day forecast opens to show and hour by hour forecast for that day

There is also a History page and a Map page available which may be of interest.

FYI – If you open the login page you may have to close the app to get off that page.
