Why are 2 Phoenix area LAWRS sites, in AUTO mode today? Could it be they don't

want to handle the weather?

LAWRS signed off for the 0059Z SPECI during a thunderstorm. There was no visibility or sky condition

on that SPECI. Once LAWRS signed back on, the sky condition remained missing. By the way, the 0053Z

METAR was missing.

and allowed it to handle the weather.

\had this been a CWO...the FAA would have swooped down and threatened to cancel the contract. in this example ASOS probably did a better job than an obstroller could have.

fa and a yells at CWO's for turning off ALDARS report processing...but...it's OK for LAWRS to just log off during weather. and why do they log off?...it's not as if they add anything to the observation anyway. you know...miniscule things like tstm location and movement...etc.

LAWRS didn't have time to back up the missing visibility or sky condition at

2222Z, and so logged off ASOS. The trouble was, the peak wind group claimed

the time of the 51 knot gust was 2215Z. That gust should have been shown

in the 2222Z SPECI, but G38KT was reported instead.

Of course they logged off ASOS. Then they (apparently) can't get blamed for its mistakes in AUTO. I'm starting to think that this is what they've been told to do tongue-in-cheek so that they're not LAWRS de-certified (not that it would be a big deal to become LAWRS re-certified I'm sure).

Come on Ken-doll and Barbie-Joe, send out some "important" memos to justify your job and existence about this. At least this would be a useful memo on not letting ASOS go AUTO during business hours, unlike the last memo on the whole COR/SPECI debacle.

LAWRS logged off ASOS by 1954Z, when LTG was DSNT. LAWRS did not log back on to
ASOS until 14/0054Z, allowing ASOS to run in stand-alone mode during the thunderstorms.
That was D level service.
