Wx Status Blog
This blog will be updated whenever I become aware of issues affecting normal operation of Wx.

NDFD issues seem to be on the mend. Most of the pro forecast graphs in Wx are displaying correctly now. As the NDFD database is fully populated, more and more of the pro forecast content will come back to proper form.

NDFD issues continue into Thursday. These primarily affect the pro forecast in Wx, but occasionally impact the point forecast as well. The NWS is aware of the problem, and working on a fix.

The NDFD is not returning proper forecast data and there seem to be multiple outages at the NWS. I have reported the issue.
Wednesday Oct 5 2011 07:58AM EDT
The NDFD is not returning full 7-day data for the point forecast. I have reported the issue to the NWS.
Saturday Oct 1 2011 10:12AM EDT
The NWS is doing major server maintenance the weekend of October 1-2. Some service outages may occur, which could affect operation of Wx 5.4 and 6.1 on Mac, and Wx on iPhone and iPad. Apologies for any inconvenience. All newer versions of Wx cache data, and present whatever data was most recently downloaded.
Also, note that changes in the NWS current conditions format are causing Wx to incorrectly display a gust speed of 0.0 mph in cases when there is no measured gust. I have reported this issue to the NWS. If an update to Wx is required, I will work on it next week once the NWS servers are back to normal operation.

The NDFD feed is back to normal operation, and Point/Pro forecasts in Wx are functioning properly.
Thursday September 22 2011 7:44PM EDT
The NWS has developed a fix for the NDFD script issue, and will put it into production on their servers Friday morning. Wx will resume normal operation at that point.
Thursday September 22 2011 7:14PM EDT
The NWS NDFD scripts broke in the transition to a new server. The NWS is aware of the problem and working on a fix. The Point and Pro forecasts in Wx cannot pull data until this issue is fixed, however the text zone forecast remains operational.
Thursday September 22 2011 12:47PM EDT
The NWS made some server changes at 11AM today, and the NDFD feeds are no longer returning valid data. I have reported the issue to the NWS.
Monday August 29 2011 10:47AM EDT
Due to damage or power loss associated with Hurricane Irene, many NWS observation sites in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the US are down. In addition, some Doppler radar sites areas are out of service until further notice. You may revise your locations in Wx to use alternate or nearby sites until your local sites are back in operation. Please direct questions about weather and radar sites to your local NWS office (see www.weather.gov).

The current conditions feed is once again operating properly. Thanks to the NWS for the quick fix.
Thursday Jun 2 2011 09:50AM EDT
The current conditions feed contains stale data. I have reported the issue to the NWS.
