I'm setting a config for Hillsborough, and I get an error saying that the extended forecast area is unavailable.

Zone: FL051

Florida is picky. The NWS forecast office publishes data differently and as a result the emulator cant read the data. Just keep trying different areas until you get one that works.

I get this error when trying to set my extended forecast zone. "Data from NWS does not provide tabular Extended forecast data, try a close neighboring state."

So it's like that in Alabama? :huh:

I'm wondering if Stephen has this issue. <_<

For some odd reason, Orange County doesn't work for me. :wacko:

I totally understand about the time thing.  Hopefully there will be something that presents itself to make the extended forecasts and conditions easily accessible.  Is there a way to grab the NWS RSS feeds by location (say...zip code)?  Maybe that would work?  *shrug*  Just throwing that out there.
