ALDARS goes crazy during the past hour with numerous short tstms... KACT 110051Z 08015G21KT 10SM VCTS -RA FEW041 BKN110 23/21 A2973 RMK AO2 PK WND 01052/0003 WSHFT 0015 LTG DSNT ALQDS RAB2357 TSB2352E10B11E12B13E16B17E18B19E21B25E27B30E34B36E37B43E44 SLP060 P0000 T02330206 I've managed to narrowly avoid this here in Salt Lake this past week. The ASOS even tried to override my manual input of TS with VCTS which created a new ending for the TS, and a new beginning for a TS when I corrected it. Some of the other stations nearby weren't handling it as well. For example, just today: KPVU 122156Z 27016KT 10SM VCTS BKN060 BKN120 OVC200 20/09 A2996 RMK AO2 TSE2057B2059E00B01E02B04E06B07E12B14E19B20E21B25E32B33E34B36E38B41E47B48E53B54 SLP106 T02000089

KPVU is an AWOS-C, an AWOS that behaves like an ASOS. Here is another AWOS-C doing the same problem: KSKX 120156Z AUTO 28015G18KT 10SM -RA BKN080 OVC090 18/05 A3011 RMK AO2 PK WND 15026/0107 TSE0059B00E02B03E07B10E22B23E25B26E28B29E30B32E33B34E37B38E41 RAB1 6 SLP132 P0001 T01780050 and it puts out a SPECI about every 2 minutes (I have not printed them here). It appears that there must have been a firmware/software upgrade, because this is a new problem common to more than one station.
For KACT and KSLC (ASOS sites), could new firmware/software been installed at these ASOS sites also? Firmware/software that does not work properly?
On second thought, it could be a national ALDARS problem, as I have found numerous ASOS's doing the same thing. The problem started over a week ago.
