... as a guide line.
For more detailed forecasts they use (local) Limited Area Models.

Some wx. radars are "adjusted" to send images at different range at different time steps.
Example: LGPZ wx. radar (marked by a star).

right now (Feb 12 / 05:30 UTC) the observed temp. from 2 meteo. stations
are 64 and 68 F.
For the same time, the forecasted value (by ECMWF wx. model) is 64F.
@idefix37
Yes. 10kt instead 9 kt is due to rounding.
My explanation:
Mace head is not an airport, reporting in METAR format (wind in Kts).
It reports in SYNOP format https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYNOP
and reports wind speed in m/sec
I read the 08Z SYNOP from Mace head and it is
03963 45764 /2405 10077 20053 30208 40237 52020 85/// ......
the code /2405 means wind from 240 degrees at 5m/sec.
Aprox. 1m/sec=2kts, so 5m/s=10kt
@idefix37
Wind gusts are not reported all the time from observing meteo. stations.
There are some interational criteria for that,
but also there are national deviations from the global regulations.
For aviation purposes, wind gust is reported when the value is ten knots or more
from the average.
Thus, for wind 12 kts with gusts 21 kts , gusts not reported.
for wind 12 kts with gusts 22 kts (or more) , gusts reported.
Wrong coordinates for BATFR21 etc
