I doubt that's the only issue, but that alone puts you pretty
close to exceding the 3mb target. And looking at the 3 day,
your error is -1.5, which means MADIS believes your barometer
is 1.5mb higher than expected.

What airport are you using? I can get to Poughkeepsie from
here in less than 1-1/2 hour, and you're just over 15 miles
away from it. :)
