If you want forecast and models try out weather.us. Worth a subscription also IMO. They even give you the coveted euro model with precip for free.  Hi res Rapid has the exact temps within 18 hours also. https://weather.us/model-charts/rapid-us/dda07c40e372efdfb00c6ea3b21afdb2/temperature-f.html

You can come up with an ensemble forecast of your choosing what models you like.

example 1: https://weather.us/weather/5700344-valentine

Then there is the example 2: MOS model I like that seems close currently for my area.  https://weather.us/forecast/5700344-valentine/essentials/srb

Both the 10 day Forecast and the next day hourly forecast never populate since yesterday.  I have cleared the browser cache and rebooted.  Only the Today forecast populates.

Same here, no 10-day, wonkey Today.  Honestly, I wouldn't hire IBM to mow my lawn at this point.

Actually, it doesn't, at least not for me.  Click on "Forecast for Grass Valley, CA ", then click "10 Day"...nothing.  If it works for some of you, that's great, but it's not working for me, or others, and presumably the very few users I still have.

Daily summary statistics table is blank for me. It's been offline for a few days and since coming back the summary table is just blank. Easy fix?

Good Evening,
Being a retired sailor and now a contractor, I use weather underground to plan my activities. Lately, the site has more problems that it's extremely frustrating to use. The one major problem is the Nexrad radar. Since last night (12/15/18) when I attempted to zoom in on the radar from Upton NY, I was shown to a radar site in the mid west (some 700  miles west of my location). I tried to back out to the beginning of the radar loop and i had to exit and then start from the very beginning. I realize that in the world of computers that constant  changes and updates are going to happen. Whether its needed or not. If you are trying to improve the product the same way Apple does with the IOS updates, causing more issues than fixes, please restore the system to an earlier version and increase product testing before updating. I use windows 7 and google chrome as my browser. I've run complete diagnostics to ensure the problem is not on my end.

Yes I emailed wunderground about these issues also.

My station hasn’t been on the map for nearly a week. Doesn’t bother me tbh, everything else is in order, but I’m just slightly curious as to why.

At first I suspected erroneous temperature reports as my station has a tendency to run ~2 degrees warmer than others when there’s calm winds and clear blue skies during the early morning hours, I suspect it’s the low sun angle considering this issue is fairly recent. Doesn’t happen all the time but when it does it typically subsides as the sun climbs higher into the sky.

But I see a few stations that are way off the mark at all times, however they remain on the map. Just curious to know if there’s a legitimate reason why my station disappeared or if it’s a bug.

Station still not on the map and summary data still occasionally blank, but as of today it has a gold star rating for the first time. :?: Very weird lol.

It's becoming increasing difficult to trust the data WU is presenting to it's consumers. Having once again lost my "Golden Acorn" rating (for zero reason), I suspect it's due to WU's screwing up the data. My suspicion was raised when viewing the Wundermap for my neighborhood and ticking "Precipitation" for one of the map elements. Sure enough it's correctly reporting my 0.3" for my daily total. Yet if I click on the station icon to preview the little station summary popup, it is incorrectly reporting 0.0". I would imagine this would be enough to trigger the removal of the gold rating. Clearly no one is doing any data validation.  ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

Hi Gang,

For months now, the "WebCam" tab on my PWS page at https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KWAPORTT52&cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash#history says my webcam is missing.  However, if I choose View WebCams on Wondermap and find my station, https://www.wunderground.com/webcams/RainyEric/1/show.html, my webcam is displayed and I can find all the usual daily videos, etc.  I've tried this with multiple/incognito browsers. ](*,)

Sure would be nice if it just showed on the main page.

From one squid to another UU, try this. Best radar and sat pics, imo.

Sure. Here's a GOES16 pic, fun to play with and as you can see, 17 is apparently right around the corner.

Once again, another storm system is poised to affect the east coast in the next 48 hours. As usual tracking the rains will be an issue. Since my last rant there have been no improvements with the Nexrad radar. I have tried everything to get the radar to properly zoom in over the long island area. I am now getting redirected to the mid atlantic areas of Norfolk VA.
Yes I have gone to the Norfolk area radar, when attempting to zoom from 200% to 400%, the response jumps to the 800% and when  zoom out to 100% Im back in the midwest again.
And they want me to join and become a member?  ](*,)

Thanks for the weather.cod info  :grin:

Washington (the state) is being hammered with weather lately (including a rare tornado in the central Puget Sound). I'm becoming a pretty big fan of DarkSky. Here is an example of their radar for your neck of the woods:

Thanks for the dark sky info! More good news;after all my ranting, the wunderground nexrad for the central Nassau County area appears to be working properly with the zoom functions staying on Long Island. :grin:

My gold was gone as of this date too for no reason. Data is all fine with no drops. The beat goes on.

Weather History Graph seems to be referenced to local time today rather than using the timezone relative to the day under inspection.  I was looking at a day back in August (during Daylight Savings Time) and noticed it was shifted as compared to WeatherCloud, who I also send data to.  Probably an easy fix but maybe we wait for the new dashboard page?

Is it possible that the Goldstar Station icon has less to do with the quality of your data, and more to do with the quality of the actual weather station? At least that's how I read it, particularly given the fact that my PWS received this little icon seconds after I started sharing my data.

You are assuming there is logic in how WU assigns it’s coveted Goldstar status to a pws! It used to be a pretty good judge of a station, now it seems Goldstar status is assigned at random. For example, I added a third pws last week and it immediately received a goldstar whereas one of my other stations, for no apparent reason, lost its. As of yesterday, now all three stations have the WU Goldstar designation. I sent a PM several months ago to the WU employee that is following this thread. He informed me that they are still working on the process on how to award a pws a Goldstar. Obviously, WU has a ways to go!

Priceless! :grin:

As for assumptions, I'm not believing that this thread has been looked at by WU folk for quite a while. I started reading this thread at the front end, and then went to the end of it - most recent anyways - and fail to see evidence of their involvement any longer on this board, or more precisely, in this thread.

In any event, the Goldstar Station icon is much like discontinued scrip, of little to no value it would seem, at least until the House of WU gets fixed.

Kind regards,
