New Weather Gauges

My old Weather Display Live page was a Flash based environment. It seems that along with Apple, many of the browsers in android phones and tablets also don't support Flash.

To fix this I've added a new page called Live WX Gauges - take a look and let me know what you think!

Major Site Updates

Recent upgrades by my hosting company required that site code be upgraded to support PHP 5.4.9. This was a big project but it also gave me the opportunity to enhance some features. The following is a list of changes and upgrades.

  •  forecast page expanded to seven days and a drop down menu now offers a selection of 8 other local towns that NWS forecasts. Rock Hall is the default.
  • Advisories page has been expanded to cover 7 Counties and a Weather Warning map has been added
  • County Advisories pages has a new look
  • Live Webcam has a second camera added (work still in process)
  • Live Air Traffic link has been added - similar to AIS ship traffic
  • Nearby Metar has been expanded - 20 stations now reporting with a new page format
  • Weather Flyer page now has included the local tide predictions
  • Almanac Station Monthly Report added: Monthly/Daily weather info
  • Almanac Station Historical Data added: daily records back to 2010 maintained by Weather Underground from data supplied by this site
  • Almanac Space Weather page added
  • Almanac Earthquake page updated - new Google map shows quake activity location
  • Status page added
  • Website map added
If you happen to notice anything that's not working or if I've missed anything from the old site, let me know and I'll do what I can to make corrections.

Tropical Storm Page

In the past my Hurricane coverage has been parsed from StormPulse . They have recently gone commercial and there subscription fees are beyond the scope of my weather site. I've re-done the Storm Report page and I'm now getting updates and links from the NOAA National Hurricane Center. I've also added (4) maps to display the Atlantic Basin. You can click on these maps to enlarge. The enlargement technique is also new. I like it and may try to use it on other pages.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know!

Webcam/IP Camera

We've had reported problems about the webcam page not working well in all browsers.
The image is called in an iFrame and after some adjustments it seems to be working well from my testing and observations.

IP Camera....Webcam

if you have problems viewing the live stream, please let me know. It would be helpful if you could tell me what operating system you are using and what browser.

Thanks

CWOP Data Quality Report Page Added

CWOP Data Quality Page

The Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) is a private-public partnership with the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. Its three main goals: 1) to collect weather data contributed by citizens; 2) to make these data available for weather services; and 3) to provide feedback to the data contributors so that they have the tools to check and improve their data quality.

We've added this page to monitor and show the Belcak Weather Station reported data accuracy and quality.

The link can be found under the Navigation list - Tools/Info - Data Quality

Advisories update

Some of you may have noticed the Advisories Tab has not been updating since March 15.
NOAA had changed the feed url for weather alerts.

This morning I had a chance to track down the new info and update the script. The alert summaries seem to be current and all is back in order.

The real test will come when alerts are posted. Let me know if things seem not to be working.

Thanks
