Guidance has run 2.6°F warm at NBG for a month

The mean signed residual across 6,493 pairs is +2.55°F, against -0.09°F averaged over all 79 stations with enough samples to score. A bias is not an error the reader can ignore — it is one they can correct for.

Mean absolute error says how far the forecast lands from the observation; the signed mean says which side it lands on. At NBG over August 21–September 20, 2026, it lands +2.55°F from the report, across 6,493 pairs — the largest standing lean of any of the 79 stations currently carrying enough samples.

ASOS reports at :53 and the forecast is stamped on the hour, so a forecast is paired with the nearest observation within 30 minutes and otherwise left unscored.
