[wxqc] CW5627

[Ken Whelan]

There were some storms coming through around that time.  Best guess is a
lightning strike but I wasn't watching close enough to correlate.   I
hope it is not an intermittent hardware issue that crops up again.

I can say for sure that C3927 is nowhere close to the spike mine saw.
Mine went from 1004mb to 1098mb and back down to 1004 in about 30
minutes.   I'm quite certain the actual pressure didn't change that
much.

Thanks.

What significant meteorological phenomena occurred there today?  Or, did

someone do some electrical work near your barometer?

C3927 also saw a spike at about the same time.  This was followed by a 
decrease in ALT.  Suggests something happened in the area and your 
sensor just decided to extend the excursion.
