Remote Automatic Weather Stations Observations

Arizona Cross Country Area
Arizona Stations

These stations are not located with the normal weather observations. Most are on mountains and ridges. While set up to give Forest managers information to help fight fires, they have valuable information for soaring (winds, peak gusts, temps, dew points).

DISCLAIMER: The National Weather Service does not own or operate RAWS sites and is not responsible for site maintenance or data accuracy. Use this data at your own risk.
Stations with zz in the name are telephone RAWS and report only once a day. All other sites are satellite RAWS and report either once an hour or every three hours.
REMOTE AUTOMATED WEATHER STATIONS There are nearly 1,500 interagency Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) strategically located throughout the United States – mostly in the Western states. These stations monitor the weather. Weather data assists land management agencies with a variety of projects – monitoring air quality, rating fire danger, and providing information for research applications.

Most of the stations owned by the wildland fire agencies are placed in locations where they can monitor fire danger. RAWS units collect, store, and forward data to a computer system at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho via the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES).
