EastCoast NPZ Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It is really difficult to wrap my mind around these numbers Furnace Creek (Death Valley), CA This Afternoon Sunny and hot, with a high near 109. South wind 7 to 10 mph. Tonight Mostly clear, with a low around 88. South southeast wind 7 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Wednesday Sunny and hot, with a high near 118. South wind 5 to 8 mph. Wednesday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 92. Southeast wind 8 to 10 mph. Thursday Sunny and hot, with a high near 121. South wind 3 to 5 mph. Thursday Night Clear, with a low around 97. Friday Sunny and hot, with a high near 126. Friday Night Clear, with a low around 98. Saturday Sunny and hot, with a high near 127. Saturday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 98. Sunday Sunny and hot, with a high near 128. Sunday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 98. Monday Sunny and hot, with a high near 125. It's a desert (dry air), so I wonder why the night time lows don't drop more. I mean, the DP here is 70F and even now the temps will drop 20+ at night.

Martin Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Didn't see a general topic that included the RIC area so I thought I would share this here. AKQ sent an email to local media investigating odd readings with the RIC airport temps. Just something to keep in mind if you use that reporting station. just wanted to let you know that we will be looking into recent temperatures at RIC Airport ASOS due to some unreasonable discrepancies from time to time over the past 2 weeks (mainly on the hotter sunny days,particularly with a west to southwest wind direction). As an example, yesterday's high of 96 F is significantly higher than surrounding sites, even the typically hot bias AWOS sites like Petersburg (PTB) only reached 93. Ashland ASOS just over 10 miles away (OFP) was a full 4 degrees cooler than RIC with no significant fronts,etc in the region (typically for a daytime high it may be 1-2 degrees cooler than RIC). One of our staff technicians told me today that at the RIC site there is no grass, just rocks and stones and this may be accentuating the issue (there is supposed to be grass at ASOS sites in eastern region). Time permitting, I have requested that they go out there on Thursday to check the equipment, the aspirator has had to be replaced in the past.
