The CRAFT data-products are known to have wildly inaccurate
product-creation times.  See, for example

    
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?CRAFT+thelma.ucar.edu

The large positive and negative latencies are due solely to inaccurate
product-creation times.

Look at the logfile of the downstream LDM for that time period.  Was
there a reconnection?
