Stuck Sensor = FRUSTRATION

Just replaced my weather station and am trying to adjust the barometer of
the new station and getting frustrated. When I try to look at the data
analysis for my station as seen here:

There is such a saw tooth effect in the barometric readings that it is hard
using them for a comparison. Have read that this can be caused if a local
station has a stuck sensor. Have also read that Phil is hoping to implement
a fix for this type of situation.

I have found one local station, with a stuck barometer as seen here:

I guess that may be what is causing the problem , but I am not sure, and
certainly understand that sensors can go bad.

My question is now what?

Is there any way I can do a data analysis query excluding that 1 stations
data ?

Or do I just wait awhile and hope that the problem gets fixed ?
