I agree…probably for BDL. But they were canning human observers as ASOS took over so they may not have had anyone directly at the airport to do the obs. So they may have found a contract or volunteer observer close by. Not sure…just guessing.
It’s possible they had an observer doing measurements outside of the airport to represent BDL…just like how CON and PWM aren’t actually at the airports anymore.
Yeah looks like there were a couple of squalls that were able to mix some stronger winds down. But it wasn’t the all night rager like the mesos had. Quite a few 55kt gusts though…then of course the 63kt at JFK.
They can spit out those gusts all they want. If we’re inverted we’re not mixing the winds down efficiently. But it will still be windy even if you only maximize 75% of it.
