I am absolutely appalled by the 'new' readings from the official NWS reporting station, supposedly at Bluegrass Airport near Keeneland. The temperature reading is much cooler than surrounding sites like Winchester Mesonet, Frankfort NWS and Mesonet, and even the Lexington Mesonet at 1044 ft, which I have harped on before, is warmer than the 'new' readings from, again supposedly, the official site at Bluegrass airport (elevation around 930 ft).
Certain individuals, including a meteorologist from the Lexington media market, had complained about the temperature readings for quite some time, claiming the sensor was running too warm during the summer. Well, I hope they got their wish. But, the incredible balance shift from too warm to too cool is not acceptable.
The only plausible explanation in support of the 'new' readings is the location of the 'official' site has moved. I cannot verify this but intend to find out.
