Hi Dave,

    I'm glad you commented on the intervals, as you brought up a point  
I had not considered, and that being the pop-up storms, or airmass type, 
as well as organized convective activity.  On the other hand, as you 
state in the last paragraph, there probably is a good bit of "noise" in 
such frequent reports, but I'll assume somehow that noise gets filtered 
out.  My thoughts of dumping data at hourly intervals is more or less 
moot.  I'll stick with the 5 min schedule and just accept the jagged 
analysis and take it in stride :-)  I guess what we don't know would 
stay that way unless we ask the questions...

cheers

Sam
