Pattern November 2024 💤 🔥

Based on your obs last night and tonight I’m thinking you’re in an area that is prone to some wind. I’m in extreme NW Catawba county and was 20 last night and already down to 32
We had wind of about 3mph here, according to Tempest. The M-L apt last night had calm winds with temps around 24 and then winds out of the SW at 5, and the temp jumped to 31 in like an hour. That seems odd to me, to have a jump of that much.

Tonight, it's 36 still, with a N wind at 1 mph. Weird.

NCSCO temp graph is pretty far from ever getting to 24. Interesting
 
Can someone please explain this: At the Morganton-Lenior airport, the temp went from 24 to 32 in the span of 20 minutes between 1:45 am and 2:05 am, with no apparent change in wind speed or direction, while the DP was falling.

My station never went below 31 all night, but the airport showed several hours of temps in the 20s, as did most of y'all's obs.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong or something.

When I lived there, I did see that station do weird things on a couple occasions

You'd probably be shocked at how much the minutely obs can jump around. I've occasionally seen drops of 8-10 F in just a few minutes and not just at RDU. When I was in the WxChallenge, I saw that happen at several different locations just due to cold air draining right at sunrise and whatnot.
