I don't think I have ever seen this picture change? I'm I missing something?  Thanks for any suggestions? Terry

Hi Terry,

That is not a Template problem. Your station send to website
the forecast code "-26" which stand for "Exceptional bad"!

I think that the problem is that you're using your station's forecast
instead of Cumulus forecasts. Cumulus seems not to update it's
webtag "forecastnumber" when using other's forecast.

So, Terry, you're at limit of richness for this site... with a Davis:))

Best Regards,
Jacques

Cumulus always provides the 'Zambretti' forecast number, even if you're using the Davis forecast. And -26 is actually "Exceptional Weather, Stormy, much precipitation", so you probably need to adjust your pressure extremes, as described in the FAQ: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#My_forecast_always_says_.22Exceptional_Weather.2C_Stormy.2C_much_precipitation.22


My forecast always says "Exceptional Weather, Stormy, much precipitation"

You probably have incorrect Pressure Extreme settings in the Forecast section on the Station Settings window. Make sure that the values you have supplied match the units you have selected for the extremes. Note that the units for the extremes are not related to the units you have chosen for pressure display in Cumulus. The option of supplying mb/hPa or inHg for the extremes is merely a convenience; you can supply either, but the values and the units must of course match.

Does anyone know how to set this up in the Davis station I have not found it yet? Thanks, Terry
