Guidance has run 3.8°F warm at NBG for a month

The mean signed residual across 9,329 pairs is +3.79°F, against +0.11°F averaged over all 86 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 October 6–November 5, 2026, it lands +3.79°F from the report, across 9,329 pairs — the largest standing lean of any of the 86 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.
