This station provides data to Weather Underground and to CWOP. This is the CWOP historical data page for this weather station and has links to some interesting stuff about the Citizens Weather Observation Program as well as the Automatic Position Reporting System. Here is the history page for this station, and the local conditions and forecast for Staples, Texas page by the Weather Underground. CWOP data gets forwarded on to MADIS, then on to the NWS. Here is the National Weather Service web page with the last seven days of data from this station.

PHP scripts to display the NWS forecast and area warnings and advisories are adapted from scripts courtesy carterlake.org and saratoga-weather.org. The RADAR script is a highly modified version of the original carterlake.org script, with images provided courtesy of the Weather Underground.

The rest of the scripts used on this page were written by me and can be found on my code page. The dynamic graphs use Open Flash Chart for the rendering engine.
