Our cloud website provider did upgrades today for security reasons and there is now an issue with PHP. We are aware of the issue and working with the cloud provider to resolve the issue.

anyone else struggling to access the SPC archives tonight?

[Patrick Marsh @pmarshwx]

@gpenawx Fair point! 😂

Boy did I pick the wrong day to log back in ... 😳

@StarInBoxWx There is no real damage done. We know the value of what we are doing. We know it is important. I think plenty of us at SPC were caught off guard by the public comments. We aren’t close to being ready for prime time. Lots of details to work out as I mentioned! 😁

[Patrick Marsh @pmarshwx]

@StarInBoxWx I am sure it was a misunderstanding or miscommunication somewhere. Most people are genuinely trying to do the right thing. I have no reason to think this is anything other than that.

[Patrick Marsh @pmarshwx]

@StarInBoxWx We had no idea it was going to be released publicly. We are still trying to figure out what happened actually. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m getting too old for this … (social media) … I don’t recognize many of these buttons … *sigh*

[Patrick Marsh @pmarshwx]

I (personally) wish we had been able to provide a lot more context and explain things more fully than through what we thought was an internal presentation. But that doesn’t mean anyone sharing did anything wrong.

Now back to my regularly scheduled lurking. :) 13/13

The following should not be construed as anything close to resembling an official statement …

I have seen some posts from people apologizing for sharing what they thought was public information about future enhancements to SPC Forecasts 1/

[Patrick Marsh @pmarshwx]

As for those who have apologized for sharing this information today, don’t worry about it. I would have done the same or similar things if I had seen something shared on NOAA social media channels. SPC is not trying to be secretive about any of this. 12/
