    It's an AWOS-3P. I've long suspected it only has passive shielding because of how quickly it races out ahead of everyone else in the morning. I know it has a little elevation being 400 ft. ASL, but so do other stations. For example this morning at 8 AM, SNC was the warmest temp in the state by 2° showing 86 when the next warmest DXR and BDL were only 84 and most everywhere else upper-70s/low-80s.

    If you look at MADIS they seem to be consistently 2F warmer than surrounding stations for years. It could just flat out be error. When I looked at the temp map after you questioned it it did appear they should’ve been around 98° for a high. But I don’t know much about that site so I’ll defer.

    Can't see how they can be at 98 when at least 4 stations above and below them in the Valley are at 100. Might have over compensated their sensor adjustment.

    They hit at least 99F so they're pretty much in line.

    Seems we aren't gonna make it. Bouncing between 98 and 99. Wind changed from 300 to 270 so I thought we might have it in the bag but now it's back to 290-300.

    Would've been an easy 102F there before we made BDL great again.

    That's actually tier 1. I went onto my Radrscope and see that too. 

    OK...those are local "storm" reports for extreme heat. I thought they were hourly sfc obs.

    Here’s a RadarScope question for you…

    Why do all the RadarScope temperature observations seem way off?  Any idea?  They are much higher than ambient temp but yet lower than the HI.

    It has LEB at 107F, CON 104F, etc.  But the HI are higher than that, and max temps lower?

    No idea. I don't pay for tier 2. :lol:

    Looks like HIX to me.

    Why would their data dissemination not match what they are saying verbally - it's likely legit, sure, but it's still interesting.  

     

    The 101F is probably in there...just can't "see" it in the 5 min obs. But they've had an hour of 38C which is 100 or 101.

    I guess I was referring to those brief spikes you sometime see that don’t make it into the record.

    Those are official 1min obs. So 38C (100.4 converted) is a guaranteed 100F
