[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

We have work to do before the RDPS and GDPS are 100% back online. All parameters except total QPF and some snow parameters are now working. And, we are working to get the rest of those back online ASAP. Thank you for your patience! -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

I talked with our local National Weather Service office and, they, too, were having satellite imagery issues around 14Z. Imagery has since come back to both of us, so it's not on our end. Even so, we apologize for the imagery hiccup. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

Well, satellite imagery is now having an issue as of ~14Z 06/02/2026. I'm looking into it. Hang tight! -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

Our radar and text server ingest software has been repaired, and data is flowing as of 12:30Z. My apologies for the data loss last night; the root cause (a bug in the software) has been identified, and this will be avoided in the future. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

It looks like we had a failure of our data ingest software starting just before 23Z yesterday on one of our main servers. I am repairing it as of 12:30Z this morning. Standby, and I apologize for the data loss. I hope to be back up shortly. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

We had a technical issue that kept our radar mosaics from working starting around 22Z Friday. As of 03Z Sunday, that issue has been corrected. We apologize for any inconvenience. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

The 12Z GDPS model and beyond are failing due to changes at EC this morning with the model. We are investigating. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

Both the Texas Mesonet and Iowa Mesonet data have changed format so our software can't read the data anymore. That will be an extensive script rewrite to get those working again, so for now, I'm plotting available METARs for those domains. Apologies for any inconvenience.-Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

@SnarkyEM KFME is there, but is being blocked from plotting by an adjacent station. I couldn't find an exact lat/lon for KXIF, but I am using Wikipedia's location. I hope that is close enough. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

We learned of a workaround to add missing METAR sites to our satellite overlays. I'm sure we've missed a few, but we added nearly 200 known missing ones from 2017-2026. A few states didn't see any additions, but some like Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida /1

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

We took some time this morning upgrading our satellite dish receiver system. No data was lost or delayed as we automatically went to our backup, but this will help ensure very reliable satellite, surface, upper air & radar data reception from the National Weather Service.-Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

@DustinSaltzman Hi Dustin! We'll think about this and other stuff in the next iteration of our website. Thanks!

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

New METAR sites added to the weather data feed from September 2023 through today are now in our database. If there are no stations around them, they should plot. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

So far, our website is performing fantastic today, even under heavy load. I am optimistic that the "website is slow or crashes on big days" era is now behind us.
We will, of course, be monitoring the performance of our website throughout the day today. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

It took me all day to get it right, but SPC outlook overlays on our satellite imagery are now working again. Oh, and with CIG 1-3 plotted too!!! Thanks for your patience, and have a great weekend, everyone. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

We're having a few internal network issues that kept the text of the day 2 convective outlook from updating. IT is looking into the issues now, but in the meantime,
the graphics are up to date as they are received through a different feed. -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

We had a "top 20" day in terms of web traffic yesterday. We are humbled. Thank you for using our site! I made a few on-the-fly config optimizations, so a few of you might have briefly gotten a "http 500 error"...I apologize if that was you.

Onward and upward! -Gilbert

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

Earlier this week, GLM Level 2 derived lightning data stopped coming in, apparently coinciding with some equipment failure. We are working on getting the faulty equipment replaced; we hope to have it back online in a few weeks. Until then, single-flash data is available as usual.

[CoD Weather Data @CoDWXData]

Saving radar imagery has been fixed; for prospective students, and classes have been updated on our landing page. -Gilbert
