National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center forecast and severe storm pages added to the Forecast and Advisories menu.

Added a solar powered fan to my outside sensor's radiation shield. This should help minimize the mid-morning to early afternoon temperature spiking.

Changed out the failing Logitech webcam for a new Panasonic BL-C140A outdoor IP network camera. This one is outdoor rated so should be more reliable than the Logitech.

My internet service went down yesterday (Sunday) at around noon which, of course, meant no uploading of data. As of 9 AM Monday my service started working but has been up and down during the day while they work on it.

Added a new NOAA weather radio page.

August 28, 2008

Updated the about page.

I've been having problems with my webcam for the past week or so: dropouts, poor picture and now creation of the videos isn't working.

A Windows automatic update crashed my weather PC at about 5:05 PM when attempting a reboot to finish the update. Ironically, I manually rebooted at about 6:40PM. While my Davis weather station continued to collect data during that 1 1/2 hours, no data was uploaded to the sites I share data with.

Since I had been toying with the idea of adding a news page, this seemed like a good time.
