But the ASOS or AWOS is automated and what is, when it says that the weather is right at the edge of basic VFR conditions, but a little bit below (accordingly to ASOS or AWOS), but you as the pilot judges that the weather is still good enough for VFR, do you then have to get a SVFR clearance or is it up to you as the pilot to decide that you have to get one? Are the ASOS / AWOS information mandatory to comply with?
(Class E uncontrolled airport in the US). And what is when the ASOS / AWOS information is obviously not correct? Are there some regulations, or best practices?

Thanks
