Guidance has run 4.2°F warm at T41 for a month

The mean signed residual across 991 pairs is +4.18°F, against +0.11°F averaged over all 85 stations with enough samples to score. A bias is not an error the reader can ignore — it is one they can correct for.

JSON Milepost 1695

Mean absolute error says how far the forecast lands from the observation; the signed mean says which side it lands on. At T41 over October 16–November 15, 2026, it lands +4.18°F from the report, across 991 pairs — the largest standing lean of any of the 85 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.
