That is an NWS weather station. For some reason, NWS does not transmit rainfall data to WeatherBug (the source of Weather Watcher Live). The “Evergreen SD #50” station is reporting rainfall data.

Evergreen is about 14 miles away…and the difference in rain fall can be huge in 14 miles up here…for instance we can get 3 feet of snow and evergreen 3 inches in the same storm…

That seems to be the closest available weather station that reports rainfall data. That data is not available at the other two weather stations in the area.
