As of 11 PM CT, or 4Z/GMT, we are getting twice as many hits on our website as we have ever had in any storm since our website has been up. I made another tweak to help things. I know our website is a bit slow, please be patient! -Gilbert
I made a few more performance tweaks, and this is about as fast as our website can go now. Having said that, everything is loading quickly on my end. As always, if you see issues, please let us know. -Gilbert
Floater switch to handle Isaias, and one for southern California with tropical storm watches for San Diego! -Gilbert
As this is our first major event with our new system, I made another performance tweak to handle our high volume of traffic right now. Our website performance should have just gotten better at 15:35Z, or 9:35 AM CT. -Gilbert
We are aware that a handful of you had an issue accessing our satellite images early this morning. A backend issue needs to be solved, but a temporary workaround is now in place so I don't think that will happen again. Apologies for the inconvenience. -Gilbert
Since roughly 13:45Z, or 8:45 AM CT, the National Weather Service primary data feed, known as SBN/NOAAport, has been down. Engineers are feverishly working to restore service. Until then, surface, satellite, text, and radar data will be unavailable to us. -Gilbert
Today, we fixed:
/
1. Isentropic printout maps on our isentropic analysis page
2. A few text webpages had the wrong footer
3. Cloud top phase satellite colorbar restored

Due to a technical issue, Delaware and Connecticut METAR plots were offline. These images have been fixed. We apologize for any inconvenience. -Gilbert
Iowa Mesonet observations are once again available and fully operational on our state text pages and surface observations page. Thanks, @akrherz , for the fixes, we appreciate you! -Gilbert
In the process of fixing the station plot imagery from Puerto Rico and Guam, we found a bug in our image generation software that caused blank images at times with other states. That has been fixed as well. Also, Iowa Mesonet imagery was restored; more parameters will plot soon.
On another note: "Hurricane Hunter" aircraft just dropsonde measured an 889 MB surface pressure with Polo in the eastern Pacific. Our floaters have you covered....this thing is a doggone buzzsaw:

Remember when I said the text pages were fixed? Never say never. Guam RAW, decoded and plotted METARs are fixed; Puerto Rico METAR plots are fixed. They have never worked on our site before...now they are. -Gilbert
