Title: Extended Forecast Issue
Post by: Zach on October 31, 2008, 06:19:45 PM: I'm setting a config for Hillsborough, and I get an error saying that the extended forecast area is unavailable.

Zone: FL051

Post by: TWCToday on October 31, 2008, 07:52:05 PM: 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'm wondering if Stephen has this issue. <_<

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

lol :P Im sorry about that. Perhaps in the future something can be done about it but for now there is not enough time to put into fixing select locations.

Post by: tuez13 on March 22, 2009, 07:25:08 PM: 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.
