Your web site is current but your right,  there is no data going to APRS.
I don't use WD but I'm guessing it must be one of the settings for APRS is wrong. I checked the status page for CWOP and there are no current problems
Look in the help file for WD in regards to setting it for APRS. Also check the log file for WD too
Seems like it should be an easy fix since the data is getting to your web site.

Shane,

Please turn off caps lock. It looks like you are shouting. Thanks!

RE APRS, if you are not sending on RF APRS  locally, but only gating it on to the Internet via WD, you will not see it locally on RF unless someone with a home RF APRS station and and an Internet connection gates it back on to RF for you.

Depending on your station, it can be easy to split the data, run an APRS program on your weather computer, and connect it to a TNC and radio on 144.39 and send the APRS data over RF that way. That's what I do.

73,
