If using a late version of advforecast2 5.17, try a lower version to 4.05.

Anyone know the trick to getting a copy of advforecast2 4.05?  I can't find a link or the way to download it.

Note that the NWS had some widespread, severe technology outages earlier this week. So it's not surprising if forecasts weren't updating for some.

Agreed, mine have been "flaky" off and on too.
Edit: I use the advforecast2 4.05.  Keep in mind that if you revert back to this version you may need to edit Settings.php a bit.  Mapclick versus lat/long.

Ken's v5.17 code will convert a "map click" URL to the API version (see convert_filename() routine), so if you go back and forth, you can keep it in that format.

I was referring to using the v4.x and needing to convert from the API format to the mapclick.  at least i had to.
