No. Unfortunately I have a 5-in-1 from AcuRite. Three months after I bought it they stopped support for the WiFi part and said if we wanted that we would have to buy a new system to go with our station if we wanted to report online. That would have been another $129.99. I’m looking at buying the Tempest.

So far, I am very pleased with it. But having not ever had any sort of station before, I don't have anything to compare it with. I like Weatherbug's lightning display better, but I like all of the data the Tempest provides. The only thing I really question are the rainfall totals. But allegedly, the software is upgraded frequently, and accuracy improves over time. Also, there are lots of Weatherflow stations around, and you can access the data from them. Anyway, I like it a lot.
 
Who streams TV here? Directv and I are on the outs and will be breaking up 9/10. I've thought about going with dish network but to me the video quality from streaming is the best you can find

YouTube TV is great IMO, only downside for me personally is that I can only watch the Braves when they're on Fox South/Carolinas (not southeast). Unlimited DVR is very nice.

I haven't had a tv provider in 4 years.

Netflix, Prime, and now Disney + for the kiddos (and Mandolorian for me)

Hulu is ----... I pay for online streaming, not commercials.

I started to go with the "Flow" back in January, but opted for the Ambient WS-2000 with remote monitoring because it had a separate monitor as well. I've been pleased so far.

Testing the RedPocket phone service tomorrow on i77 to see how it does!! Just testing, Wilkes/Yadkin/Iredell/Surry counties. It’s $19/mo vs $29.88/mo with Walmart family mobile. Let’s see which is better

You should try the red rocket phone! It’s sure to get a rise out of you!

Not gonna lie, this MJO wave that's currently over the western hemisphere looks a lot like this one from mid-late August & September 1979.

The Atlantic went onto produce five storms at once on September 1, 1979.

I made this plot in python and plotted the Real-time Multivariate MJO (RMM), Velocity Potential MJO (VPM), & Outgoing Longwave Radiation MJO Indices (OMI)

Now compare w/ the ECMWF forecast.
