frankenstorm and all, but whats happening in mexico?!

TwoFriends · 2012-10-28T18:28:03+00:00

That station has been reporting bad data for some time now. It causes all sorts of strange things to happen on weather maps since the data they're reporting is so different from what the surrounding areas are reporting. I don't know why weather reporting agencies/companies are continuing to plot it. It's erroneous information.

Edit: Here is the latest NWS map that shows that there is no pressure gradient present at that station. As you can see with Hurricane Sandy, if it were in fact a storm you would see concentric isobars, like those present around Sandy, that indicate a pressure gradient. There is no such gradient at this weather station, in fact they are reporting clear skies and calm wind. The radar is mostly likely miscalibrated and is picking up particulates in the atmosphere instead of picking up precipitation.

I certainly hope this has nothing to do with the the bigass UFO that entered the Popocatepeti volcano. or maybe it was a hoax and the volcano itself is the one messing up data...

EDIT. seems...both the weather thingy and the volcano are in the same region.
