[wxqc] Dewpoint Readings

[Heidi Neverman]

John, I feel your pain.  My dewpoint reading have been off this spring also 
with my Vantage Pro 2 system that I got in December.  I have been assuming 
it is because of my own little microclimate.  My sensor is about 20 feet 
from the Bay of Green Bay and the rest of my local stations are more inland. 
I would also like to know from the experts if this is an accurate 
assumption.
