[wxqc] Sensor drift

I am experiencing what I believe to be sensor drift on the barometric
pressure sensor. I've been following the diffs between my station and
KDNL / KAGS now for about two weeks, and altho a good portion of the
time, we are within 0.2mb of each other, last night, I was showing about
1.5mb or better between the two, with my reading being the higher. The
only fly in the ointment is the fact that KHQU, Thomson GA, ASOS was
showing yet a higher reading than I was, by another 0.20 mb. I know I
should not try to match most readings based on graphs, but baro pressure
I'd think should be very close, given our very similar altitudes.
In short, does anyone have any first hand knowledge or even theory that
the Davis baro sensor will, in fact, drift with change of temperature,
or time?
Regards,
Sam
