12Z NAM 3km stinks in NY/PA today. It's missing observed dewpoints by ~15°F at 3pm. This may have implications on start of any precipitation this evening.

Weather/aviation geekery incoming! Cold front crossed KBGM within last half hour.

We've now lost 3 radiosonde launching sites due to cuts to NOAA. 97 more sites to go before we're just be using satellites, airplanes and chinese lanterns.
Effective immediately and until further notice, radiosonde launches will cease from the following offices due to lack of staffing:

Albany, NY (KALY)
Gray, Maine (KGYX)
