I noticed my pictures not updating too.  But If I click on the title bar, it'll suddenly load the pic just fine.

Looks like the NCO OPS found the 'magic sauce' to apply

Hi All,

Still waiting for Hawaii to come aboard on this subject.

We had an tsunami alert from the New Zealand 8.1 earthquake yesterday. Nothing reached here.  Its a good thing.

Aloha,

As a side, if you didn't know, the Western Region Headquarters has a National Weather Story Map where at a glance you can see which site is active. If you see the common black square with writing, which is predominate in the west on the below image, the Wxstory hasn't been issued today yet.

Unfortunately the map doesn't display the ND WFO's and the Duluth WFO.  What's more, the 'black' images in the WRH WFO's aren't current at this time.  Those Weather Stories are actually there right now.

It's a nice idea, but the implementation is lacking.

I love how the pic for Des Moines is in western Iowa. West of Denison in the Bluffs.

My reference to it is use of being a quick reference to be able to see if it is a national outage as opposed to specific WFO. No, you can see from the time stamps that many are not current.

I'm sure that is done just so not to cover other WFO pics.
