Title: wxforecast.php and NWS Forecast Stopped working
Post by: scottct1 on February 11, 2019, 02:09:36 PM
Hi I run the weather site http://weather.satelliteguys.us and for the last few days my NWS forecast on my homepage and forcasts at http://weather.satelliteguys.us/wxforecast.php is not working (although New York City IS working in wxforecast.php)

I haven't changed anything lately and just checked my site and updated to the latest files from Kens site.

Any ideas?

Looks like the gridpoint forecast is returning a 404

It's a NWS problem with the data in api.weather.gov -- contact your local WFO

and let them know that the gridpoint forecast for https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/BOX/20,36/forecast is returning an error (404)

BOX has been returning 404s using the new API for a few days now. I reached out but haven't heard anything back.

Hey - I got a reply.

They recommend using the helpdesk email address - toc.nwstg@noaa.gov - to report outages such as this.

Anyway, they do know about it and are working on a fix.

I sent an email to the top address and they open a ticket and fixed the problem (yippie!)

Here is their reply.

Email from IDP Hazari:
.

This is a known issue and is related to another ticket that is open with Dataflow (TID:902090016)

The recommendation from SDB (developers) is to restart the forecast-ws services on all ( vm-lnx-nids-fcws{1-8} ) at CP. The cmd is..

systemctl restart forecast-ws

i just restarted the forecast-ws service. It seems OK now. Ticket cna be closed


===================
2019-02-14 15:15:24 GMT Contacted IDP Helpdesk and spoke with Jay who will have someone look at the issue. TC/SMM


===================
2019-02-14 15:09:26 GMT Added [NCO #QZY-99526-668] to the ticket subject line. (CJJ)


===================
2019-02-14 15:03:10 GMT TC will contact IDSB Onboarding Team after receiving helpdesk ticket number. TC/SMM

All is working for me again.
