Rain readings for today

I was just checking my reading for my rainfall which occurred this morning at approximately 3:00 AM. However it is recorded as being Yesterday and 0.0" for today. I went to WU and looked at their data and it shows it as being today also. How can I correct the readings in cumulus?

Edit the figure for yesterday in the dayfile.txt editor, and for today in the 'today's rainfall' editor.
Looking at your graphs, you have no data from about 2100 yesterday until about 0800 today, so that would cause totals for today and yesterday to be misrecorded. If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, I'll take a look.

Okay, here it is. Considering it was the first rain I have recorded since being gone for most of September, this had me wondering why it recorded as it did.
Of course, while gone from September 2nd through September 25th the PC was turned off and I missed the biggest rains of the year.

I am still trying to figure out how I can get the 2.52" that was recorded on WU but missed by my PC to be included in my records. That will be my next big chore.

The Davis DLL was unable to download any archive records from the logger. This seems to happen every time (as far back as the diags files go), so it's presumably not the case that the logger was just busy uploading to WU or wherever. That's all I can tell you, I'm afraid, as that's all the information the DLL gives. Perhaps something happened to the logger while you were away.
