CT shore is rocking and it'll still be hard to verify 18-24 in the heaviest BDR HVN to DXR places. At least we have a chance. How much for you? How close are you to the airport?

But with automated ASOS sites without augmentation it’s damn near impossible to get obs of M1/4SM. A lot of the old manned 0SM, 1/16SM, and 1/8SM obs are seen as 1/4SM by the ASOS now.

Typhoon Tip Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Seems per Will's rad up there ...this band along and immediately N astride rt poop has materialized over the last hour. We were 'fuzzy' at 1.5 mi vis for a couple hours and then this materialized ahead of the band we've been tracking which is still S of here. There's even a relative lull between - interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think you need 4 hourly obs to get the 3 hours inclusive...not sure. BDR is manned today too, but I’m not sure if they augment vis obs. Maybe @OceanStWx knows how GYX goes about verifying it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from 2018 and it looks like 1/4SM is fine and yea 4 hourly obs would be a 3 hour window so that makes sense. https://www.weather.gov/okx/Blizzard_Jan42018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
