Mobile PrecipTimer® DashboardPrecipTimer

PrecipTimer® for your mobile device displays the current precipitation status for your selected location. The Threshold and Early Warning Lead Time are set in your Mobile Setup. To change your PrecipTimer® settings select the Locations Monitoring Menu option. PrecipTimer® is not available for Canadian locations.

 

 

Note:

PrecipTimer® uses real-time radar and recent precipitation motion to predict when precipitation will start or end at an asset location. PrecipTimer® uses the exact latitude and longitude of each monitored location to make its calculations, it is updated with every new image of radar information. Because of this, current observations shown in the home page dashboard or in the local forecasts (which may be up to one hour old) do not always reflect the same conditions as PrecipTimer®. In addition, observed conditions data will be for the surface observation site closest to your asset location, while PrecipTimer uses the latitude and longitude of your exact location for monitoring.

 

 

Green

No precipitation is occurring or approaching within the next x hours (where x is your set Early Warning Lead Time…usually 3).

Yellow

Precipitation is approaching but not during your set Early Warning Lead Time, or precipitation is occurring but below your threshold intensity. If you use the default settings of light intensity and 3 hour lead time, then you will not see a yellow condition.

Red

Precipitation is predicted to reach your location within your set Early Warning Lead Time, or precipitation is occurring at, or above, your set intensity threshold.
