About this Station
Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains
Elevation: 3,590 feet

VP2 Closeup Station D2149 was first made operational on January 14th, 2009 for the purpose of providing the most accurate weather data possible for Bass Lake Ca. and the surrounding area of the Southern Sierra Nevada.

Prior this station's activation, there was a very noticeable lack of "accurate" weather data reporting for this area. This was especially true on major weather websites such as Accuweather® and The Weather Channel®.

Along with the installation of the station hardware, specialized computer software was employed in order to upload the station's data via the internet to a variety of online weather networks, including Weather Underground, the Citizens Weather Observation Program (CWOP),
MesoWest and the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System, aka MADIS.

As a result of this station's data contributions, the Bass Lake area is now included in many weather forecasts and reports that it had been previously excluded from.  In September of 2009, the National Weather Service selected D2149 as the official reporting station for the Bass Lake area.  This includes hourly temperature reports from this station on NOAA All Hazards Weather radio broadcasts.
