Central Market Weather Station

Did you know that Central Market has its own weather station?

There's a little weather station antenna on top of the building, apparently near the flagpole. It's connected to a Davis Vantage Pro2 weather station system, which uses a rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, and anemometer to forecast the weather.

Visitors to the site, one of three that Central Market operates, will see a detailed local weather page, which includes rainfall statistics, wind velocity and direction, current and historical temperature data, and an animated radar image.

What a great way to get local weather info!

According to the site, the purpose of the site and station "is to provide a service and a bit of entertainment to our customers. Our business is significantly affected by weather, and many of our customers drive long distances to get to our store."
