Both the Texas Mesonet and Iowa Mesonet data have changed format so our software can't read the data anymore. That will be an extensive script rewrite to get those working again, so for now, I'm plotting available METARs for those domains. Apologies for any inconvenience.-Gilbert

@SnarkyEM KFME is there, but is being blocked from plotting by an adjacent station. I couldn't find an exact lat/lon for KXIF, but I am using Wikipedia's location. I hope that is close enough. -Gilbert

We learned of a workaround to add missing METAR sites to our satellite overlays. I'm sure we've missed a few, but we added nearly 200 known missing ones from 2017-2026. A few states didn't see any additions, but some like Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida /1

We took some time this morning upgrading our satellite dish receiver system. No data was lost or delayed as we automatically went to our backup, but this will help ensure very reliable satellite, surface, upper air & radar data reception from the National Weather Service.-Gilbert

@DustinSaltzman Hi Dustin! We'll think about this and other stuff in the next iteration of our website. Thanks!

@CoDWXData Maybe this is asking far too much, but would it be possible to add NWS forecasting zones? I see that CWA lines are already an option. I live in Alaska, and boroughs are really far too large to act as good points of reference except for with the very small ones.

New METAR sites added to the weather data feed from September 2023 through today are now in our database. If there are no stations around them, they should plot. -Gilbert

So far, our website is performing fantastic today, even under heavy load. I am optimistic that the "website is slow or crashes on big days" era is now behind us. We will, of course, be monitoring the performance of our website throughout the day today. -Gilbert

It took me all day to get it right, but SPC outlook overlays on our satellite imagery are now working again. Oh, and with CIG 1-3 plotted too!!! Thanks for your patience, and have a great weekend, everyone. -Gilbert

We're having a few internal network issues that kept the text of the day 2 convective outlook from updating. IT is looking into the issues now, but in the meantime, the graphics are up to date as they are received through a different feed. -Gilbert

We had a "top 20" day in terms of web traffic yesterday. We are humbled. Thank you for using our site! I made a few on-the-fly config optimizations, so a few of you might have briefly gotten a "http 500 error"...I apologize if that was you. Onward and upward! -Gilbert

Earlier this week, GLM Level 2 derived lightning data stopped coming in, apparently coinciding with some equipment failure. We are working on getting the faulty equipment replaced; we hope to have it back online in a few weeks. Until then, single-flash data is available as usual.

New and fixed: SPC outlooks, now with CIG plotted! (the 6Z outlook had an issue, but that has been fixed) In the Text Products menu, under NWS State Products, when you click on a state, the three state data plot options near the top of the page have been fixed. -Gilbert

To see how the "sausage is made" on our end. Anyway, I reran the script, so the SPC outlooks are now current, and all images are there in full. So why are the probability maps slightly squished? I don't know. That's my final bug to swat today. -Gilbert /end

The result? When the script was running, I got, essentially, undeclared variable errors. Once that was taken care of, it worked as intended. I'm learning just how important Conda environments are to operational code.Anyway, that's a slight "pull the curtain back just a little" /2

In re: SPC outlooks: I was programming the script in Python using the system version, 2.67. I switched to a Conda environment where it runs using version 3.11. That caused a problem: Python version 3 is much more strict about declaring variables, and not leaving them dangling. /1

Annnnnd we already found a bug in the beta code that is keeping the 1Z day 1 outlooks from completely plotting. We'll hopefully swat that bug before the weekend. It's not a bad one, thankfully. -Gilbert

Announcing the beta test of our SPC outlooks on our experimental page. We have a few very minor things to patch, but the data (and CIG!) is all there! The day 3 icons aren't updating, but when you click on the images, they are available. We'll get that fixed ASAP. -Gilbert
