Default Where is the outside air temperature sensor located

Can someone verify the location of the temp sensor?
My digital readout is 10-15 degrees lower than the outside air temp.

I see the sensor in the attached image on the front left side behind the grill. I just want to take a reading there if thats the right place.

I know there is some delay to filter sudden changes.

thanks boostedGS,
I will measure close to this location. Right now inside garage after
driving its 99 outside and 94 in cab. Might be more error at higher temps.
In the garage this morning it was 84 outside in the grill and 86
in cab.
