Temperature extremely incorrect today

At KMBO in Madison, MS USA the temp from AS is showing 21F (-6C). Current real temp is around 90F. At the Jackson, MS airport (KJAN) the temp is correct as well as other reporting stations nearby to the South. There are some stations just North of KMBO also reporting 21F. Any thoughts on what's causing that? I don't have any other weather related addons and have restarted MSFS and AS just for grins. The cloud coverage at the stations misreporting temp is also incorrect. Any logging I need to provide that would be helpful? Using AS live weather and AS preset mode. Just to note, at 3000 ft altitude, the temp looks correct so it's just the surface temp that seems to be affected.

I confirm KMBO is reporting very low temps for some reason.

It's not an AS issue. And it is system-wide. Here is the current METAR from NOAA:
KMBO 010655Z AUTO 00000KT 6SM BR CLR M04/M04 A2998 RMK AO2

After some research it is possible KMBO has swapped ICAO ids with KMCB and the locations are incorrect due to their previous position(s) not being updated. Any confirmation of this or further details on the correct location(s) is appreciated. We can make changes on our server station database data accordingly.
 
Thanks for taking a look. I’ll check with a few people who fly out of kmbo regularly (in real life) and see if they have any details. I’m not aware of any changes though. I fly from there in-sim all the time, and usually the weather is correct, yesterday was the first time I’ve noticed a problem. When it’s been literally 100F for two weeks, seeing 21F kinda jumped out at me! lol.
 
Just want to give a quick update, the stations that were so wildly inaccurate yesterday are looking normal today. Guess it was an isolated issue with a few stations in the area. Appreciate the response earlier, and I guess AS was reporting exactly what data it was being given.
