Topic: advforecast2 - V5.17

[Johnmac]

I just updated to advforecast2 v5.17 after being on V4.x for the past year. Went back to V4 after issues with earlier versions of 5.x. Now the  "NWS Short Term Weather Forecast" on my home page does not word wrap the description of the weather. Can be seen at scannorthcounty.net Is there anyway to fix this or does it have nothing to do with the updated version of advforecast2.php.

Thanks,

John

I see that the wxforecast.php page is showing

The detailed point forecast weather data is not currently available.
The zone forecast data for MAZ004 (Northern Worcester) will be displayed
until the point forecast data is again available.
If this persists, contact the NWS Boston / Norton, MA WFO
at 508.622.3250 or email at box.webmaster@noaa.gov
to have them update the point forecast for /gridpoints/BOX/41,80 on api.weather.gov

indicating that the point forecast was >18hrs old, so the script failed-over to the Zone forecast instead.  This is normal behavior for the script.
Running wxforecast.php?force=1 caused it to return a point forecast, and yes, the verbiage for Memorial Day forecast of

Chance Light Rain then Chance Rain Showers

from the NWS does cause the Forecast box in the dashboard to skew as the browser tries to fit in all the words from the NWS into a small box.  Also normal behavior.
