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.

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.
