MESSAGE TO HAS FORECASTER-NCRFC..
I CHECKED THE NWS TIPPING BUCKET RAIN GAUGE TODAY AT PCNW3.  I FOUND 
IT PLUGGED UP WITH DEBRIS.  I INSTALLED A FINER MESH DEBRIS SCREEN 
IN THE FUNNEL SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT GET PLUGGED UP AGAIN. I GAVE 
IT A CLEANING AND A CALIBRATION...IT SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO NOW.
