[wxqc] Help!!!!!!!

Hanford,

    Looking at your data, I see a couple of things that might help on 
the DP.  First tho, you need to look at the barometer.  You are off a 
good bit there.  Is your elevation correctly entered into the station?  
Check the local airport for their barometric reading.

    I notice you have a lake in close proximity to your house.  Not 
familiar with the area, what is the prevaling wind direction?  Are you 
perhaps picking up humidity from the lake?  If that is the case, not 
much you can do about that, but being that DP is a calculated number, 
you might want to check the calibration of your humidity sensor too.  
That has a big part in the dew point calculation, and your humidity 
appears to be off a rather decent amount too.  That would be the first 
thing I'd check, and see if you can get the humidity closer.  DP would 
follow along with changes to that.  You didn't mention what station 
hardware you are using, so that would be a help in diagnosis too.

    Perhaps some of the other folks can provide some input too.. I did 
not look too closely at the surrounding stations to see how they looked, 
so it could possibly be some of them out of whack too. 

    Hope this helps some.......

Regards,

Sam
