This causes rain event to end at different times on different displays and the bridge anyway they do not always move at the same rate or direction you will have to trust me on that one. This also will make the displays show an event is over sometimes hrs apart .
The "rain event" isn't a standardized observation that I know of. I haven't seen them publish it in a data sheet. It probably means whatever Acurite says it means on whatever particular device they're talking about.
Personally I'd rather they just measure precipitation from midnight or 7:00AM like most services do.
I agree !"Personally I'd rather they just measure precipitation from midnight or 7:00AM like most services do."
Here is what Megan says
"The pressure rising by .03 inHg is correct and that combined with no registered rain for one hour will reset the rain event. This is registered rain readings on the display unit. Either of the units being in the learning mode will not affect the results. The learning mode is used for the forecasting and adjusting barometric pressure readings based on location and altitude. In order to best help you we would like to see screen shots of both MBW and the display unit showing what you are seeing. How long has the 01010 unit been setup? How long has the bridge been setup? Thank you."

Here is definition from the manual 1055 man
The RAINFALL weather page will display the rainfall total from the
current rain event. A weather system may come into your area very
slowly, and may rain over many hours or days without many breaks.
The rainfall weather page displayed event total accounts for this and
will continue to display the total until the rain event is over.

In my written manuel for my 1500 it says
The RAINFALL weather page will display the rainfall total from the
current rain event. A weather system may come into your area very
slowly, and may rain over many hours or days without many breaks.
The rainfall weather page displayed event total accounts for this and
will continue to display the total until the rain event is over.
So my point is three fold
1 three barometers that are not exactly the same in three different devises going different directions causes a the event to end at different times sometimes hrs apart is problem
1)The met criteria is not setting the rainfall event back to zero on neither the MBW nor on my display unit.
2)Both displays reset and different times. This may then cause a single rainfall event to reflect different totals if they come on the heal of one another IE., if one resets and the other doesn't and more rain falls.
PS...I just checked the Display Unit and as of 10:00 AM it still hasn't reset the weather event.
