NWS told us it was 101 when they dialed in shortly before 3. 

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

Because the METARs only report a 6 hour max every 6 hours and the 1-min obs are rounded to the nearest degree C so unless they actually dial in manually we don't know for sure. 

If they provided 1-minute data that wasn't rounded we'd know sooner.

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.

The 5 min obs are 1 min obs every 5 minutes...they're still part of the 5 min running mean. Trust them. They're real. 

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.

Maybe it's a heat burst phenomenon from the outflow off those severe summit cells chinooking downslope ...

hmm hmm     hahaha
