Sorry for bumping this, but I'm getting the same problem now.

I'm trying to set up the configuration for Jackson, MS and no cities are showing up after I selected Hinds County (zone 048) so I can select a Current Conditions city.

Edit: There's no cities showing up for Rankin County (zone 049) also. That county is across the river from Jackson and houses Jackson's official observation site (JAN - Jackson Airport).

Pop,
For me to help, I would need to know your user ID so I can examine your configuration.

What may also help is going through this list: http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/state_roundup/ms/

What the program is looking for is the TRUE "Regional Weather Roundup", an example of this: http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/state_roundup/ms/msz074.txt

Some WFO's put out a "Zone Forecast Product" which looks similar to this: http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/state_roundup/ms/msz048.txt
This type of forecast is not interpreted by the emulator.

The best thing I would do is scour that directory and make sure your selecting a zone which shows the proper forecast layout, and it's date modified is recent, not years old.

Pop,
Did you have the opportunity to scour the above noted directory ?

Pop Light Brown · « **Reply #5 on:** October 21, 2012, 02:24:20 AM »

I did...and zones 40-57 in Mississippi had expired info. Plus, the cities weren't even listed.

EDIT: I also told you that I had trouble selecting my home parish as the current conditions city (Washington 039). That zone is not listed. Plus Zone 038 (Tangipahoa Parish) is outdated and has been split into Zones 071 (north) and 072 (south). This is likely why conditions for Hammond, La. has never updated.

If this isn't the right place to put it could you please move it?

is there a chance cities like Taunton, MA and Boston,MA could be added to the emulator to cover Eastern MA? cities like Worcester,MA and Orange, MA seems to only cover Western and Central Mass.

Pop Light Brown · « **Reply #8 on:** October 23, 2012, 11:37:41 PM »

McComb is perfect as a current conditions city for my hometown setup; it and Hammond are the same distance from my town.

However, you have the Kansas City NWS regional roundup. My issues are with the Jackson, Miss. NWS roundup (JAN). I'm trying to do a configuration for Jackson. I wanted to use Hawkins Field (KHKS) as the CC city and use Jackson-Evers Airport (KJAN) as one of the regional cities. Nothing is listed when you select Hinds (048) and Rankin (049) counties for regional cities.
