... Dense fog advisory in effect until midnight EDT tonight...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a dense fog
advisory... which is in effect until midnight EDT tonight.

* Locations... southern portions of Queens... Brooklyn... and Long
Island.

* Hazards... dense fog.

* Timing... through this evening.

* Impacts... visibilities reduced to 1/4 mile or less... along with
sudden changes in visibility.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A dense fog advisory means visibilities will frequently be
reduced to one quarter mile or less. If driving... slow down... use
your low beam headlights... and leave plenty of distance ahead of
you in case a sudden stop is needed.

I checked the local airport observations shortly after seeing it. That's what's unbelievable about it and that's why I posted it. It's the main reason why I hate HiRAD. That's why my IS2 reports inaccurate readings.

With a warm... relatively moist airmass flowing over the colder
ocean waters... fog will form this evening... and may become dense
late tonight. Severely reduced visibility... along with sudden
changes in visibility... are possible tonight. If driving... slow
down... use your low beam headlights... and leave plenty of distance
ahead of you in case a sudden stop is needed.

92.0° O_o What the? My weather station is going wacko.

Thats what happens when the sun attacks your sensor on humid morning, lol.. happens all the time on mine and Ive dealt with that on my atomic clock's sensor for 7 years now

I figured it. I placed my sensor somewhere I thought would never get sunlight. It turns out it does in the morning, so some of my data is incorrect now. I'm thinking about getting a new station with a PC data logger.

That's what occasionally happens to mine when the sun rises well into the north. On summer mornings, there will be a jump in temperature. ~5-6 degrees, and then go back down slightly after the sun's rays are off it.

60°F Mostly Cloudy

I can see 5-6 but is nearly 20 degree jump normal?

Not really. Depending of what materials the thermometer is made of, they all will absorb heat differently. My LaCrosse thermometer would only go up by 5-6 degrees at most when it's about 80°F at 6:30AM in the summer.

55°F Sunny

Pondering about this one...

I don't see anything with the matter of that. The 55°F reading is caused by radiational cooling.

51.8°F Sunny

No chance of storms for Central Jersey. 56 and cloudy.

Why does your weather under your name only say 49 but you say 56?

48°F Haze

You should look at the time he posted too

86°F Fair here now

The time wouldn't matter considering that he only posted that two hours ago. There was no cold front that caused the temp to go from      56 (like he said) to 49.

49°F Cloudy

I was looking at my iPod's conditions, not the ones from Weather Underground. The two stations often have conflicting temperature readings

Those conditions arent from Wunderground though they are powered by HAM weather which gets its obs from airports

Still, airport observations aren't always 100% accurate. I occasionally notice inaccurate readings from KSWF (Newburgh)

50°F Cloudy
