[wxqc] CW4870 Temperature

[Charles M. Owen]

Hi, I am sort of a newbie. I have only had my Christmas present La Crosse
WS-3120TWC up for two weeks. These are my first QC reports. I am 27 miles
from the closest known site that I am compared with. When should I start
worrying about these readings?

Note that times are in UTC. The values displayed are  'Observed (error)' The
error value is 'analysis - observed'. I.e. if your observed value is higher
than the computed value, then the error will be negative. You have to pick
out the reading that is in error. The row with the time of 'Smry' is a daily
summary and the data is  'mean(standard deviation)' for each observation
during that day.
