I’m in Weymouth sort of in the northern part of town a couple miles from the water. I had a pretty good southwest wind all day, usually if that’s the case and Logan Seabreeze they’ll bump after 4 o’clock many times it’s like between five and 6 o’clock.

I'll definitely remember this one.

Really, the only near full-proof plan with Kalshi is to wait on DSMs/remarks and "trade" on highs/lows that already occur. You need to compete with bots and that's difficult to accomplish unless you develop a bot yourself.

I do wonder where people get observations from in near real-time. Odds flipped well before an observation was provided at https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=KBOS

Anyone from the NWS know? I think MADIS is the closest you can get to ~real-time.

Scott uses the TBOS FAA radar for local wind insights.  The pride of Weymouth - having a radar!  LOL.

I do actually. Can see boundaries nicely. Works well with coastal fronts.

Duplicate observations too. I claim foul play!

There were other 88 degree observations afterwards, and the DSM does have 88 at 14:59LST (after the random gusts to 51kt) so I'll take the 'L' on this one. 

If I mention AI again, ban me. Every time I question AI's reliability/efficacy/etc..., I get lit up lol

Gusts last for 10 mins before it resets

You can call the ASOS weather phone. They pretty much all have one…AWOS too. 

A few of the bigger sites do have online software with realtime data. The NWS has 1 min obs from PHX up on their site too.

There’s some cirrus moving through. Vis seems fine.

Why do you do this?

Did any official stations hit 90?  Didn't make it here with the cirrus.  No heatwave this go around.

It has unfortunately been exposed often enough, times of misguidance wrt to drug and vaccine therapies (regardless of why) that it's naive and ill-advised now to rely on in-office recommendations, out of hand.   You instead should nod thoughtfully and tell the physician not at this time.   If the they push ... particularly in that sort of situation, then you respectfully decline and tell them that you will be completing some independent research 'like you always do' before arriving to any course of action.

I asked for 2 shots. One for me and one for you.

I was told you were in South Weymouth.

Supposedly the aurora is going to be out tonight, central NE and north.  We shall see.  Will probably have to use my camera to see it. I have seen two in my life.  One was last year in Nov.  The other was 30 years ago in the the Wolfeboro area.  We did hit 90 today.
