[wxqc] Curious about analysis C2582

[Kevin Reed]

Howdy....

First post...

Been watching the analysis of my weather station and constantly see that the
dewpoint is regularly marked as having a signifcant mean error.

The dewpoint of my station is a calculated value, by the weather station
software and is not actually a sensor so there is not really anything to
adjust.  The baro and temp is normally listed as okay (Green Check), but the
dewpoint rarely is.

The station is located in a not so optimal location, in that is is near a
block wall which has a paved street on the otherside, so I would expect to
see temps slightly higher as a result. But I find it interesting that the
other two values are normal green, and the dewpoint is not.

The analysis as I understand them are based on other local stations and
looking at some of them, they appear to be way off.  Could these be playing
a part in the readings being so off for the dew point.

Most notable are two stations which have readings like:

Station Distance    Baro        Temp    Dewpoint
CW1832    6.6 miles    164.9    28.2    12.1
CW2017    10.1 miles    0.0       -4.9    63.1

The following link shows the report as I saw it tonight.

Wasn't sure how to provide the info from the report so I took a pdf snapshot
of it.

Interested in comments....

Thanks.
