Topic: Old Weather Statements Not Being Purged

[W Thomas]

Anyone else having trouble with old weather statements that have expired still being downloaded and displayed?

I have noticed that I am still getting a Winter Weather Statement that should have expired at 2am today. It also shows up on the Wunderground page for my station. NWS has not issued any others and my scripts for retrieval directly from the NWS do not show such a creature

Just curious as to whether anyone else was getting this behavior .


Thanks!

Wayne,
  I HIGHLY recommend that you convert over to the advisory script that Ken True (saratoga-weather.org) has on his page.
You can modify it to you heart's content and it updates rapidly. Works great!

You took the words right out of my mouth Jim
Seriously I have planned on doing that maybe this weekend if all goes well.

I don't know whats going on with WU's current operations but it seems to be on their page as well as downloaded by VWS.
I may have to convert a little quicker than I had planned if this don't change

Thanks for the help!

I sent support a email this morning before heading in to work at 8:00 am. I checked my mail around 9 or so and they had replied with a nice note stating they would take care of the problem as soon as possible...and they did just that!

This is the first actual dealing with their support folks since they rolled out their ticket system and I have to say they did handle it in a timely manner.
Just as a precaution...
I have already set up other scripts for advisories and have them working but just not added to my main page as yet.. Maybe better do that quick tomorrows shaping up to be an active day south of me
