Man times flies. I know most AWOS’s were upgraded to 3PT for precip ID and temp remarks (LCI and EEN got it up here), but I thought it was more recent than that. But now that you mention it I do remember the old 20 minute obs that used to come out of there with the original AWOS.
BTW, whatever happened with the 25k ceilometer rollout? I thought that was happening 10-15 yrs ago and instead only some of the manned sites report/augment it in.
There’s nothing more stupid in weather reporting than reporting an overcast layer at 13kft as “CLR”
