[wxqc] Dew point & Humidity

[Philip Gladstone]

Steve,

The spikes in the analysis are commonly called 'jaggies'. They are an 
artifact of the analysis caused by a neighboring station that is 
reporting once per hour that has an incorrect temperature.

The only way of locating this station (as it doesn't seem to be a CWOP 
or METAR station) is to go to http://www-frd.fsl.noaa.gov/mesonet/ and 
zoom in on your location. Take a look at your neighboring stations and 
there should be one with a temperature that is out of line.

Let me know what you find out -- we can sometimes get those readings 
marked as bad and excluded from future analysis.

Philip
