BUT UTR's caution about the location of the automatic WX station location and DF's comment that there can be significant local weather variations should be noted.

The weather started to improve significantly only about 30 min later. Sometimes there is great value in a cup of coffee.
Akro, I know you also mean the same for IFR ops, sometimes it is better to be tactical about your flying, and have several plans up the sleeve. Coffee or a wander around the hangar will do it.
