The idea was to be able use data from more than one station
(closest to station A at start of trip, closest to station B after X miles, closest to station C after Y miles ...)
In any case, for me - out here in the boonies - this is all mostly theoretic. There are places on my route where the nearest station is probably 70 miles away. The closest station lies ~21 miles west of the southwest corner of my 150 mile nightly loop. The only other nearby weather station lies ~23 miles northwest of the northwest corner of the same loop. There are nights when neither comes anywhere close to matching conditions on the route. eg. 10-15 mph winds (gusts to 20) at one station; 0-5 mph winds at the other station; and conditions on the route are anything from 0-5 mph winds at one location to 30-35 mph winds (gusts to 45) at another location.
