I was contacted this afternoon by the great folks at The Weather Channel for permissions to use graphics from my site on-air for their Evening Edition show. The snippet was snown at about 8:30 CST, and was used to show just how large the reported hail sizes were in the OKC area and compared it to a baseball.
Welcome to anyone coming from TWC!
Well, the 2009 Storm Season has started pretty early. Keep on the lookout for new features rolling out this year as we get more into the storm season.
Also, a small bug was fixed just a few days ago that resulted in the SPC convective outlooks not displaying on the map for any date in 2009.
I’ve also had some questions regarding the convective outlooks sometimes not displaying. The site is automated to use the latest outlooks, but it’s not always sure when the latest outlooks have been posted and sometimes the SPC is late to deliver those outlooks. When this happens, the system will display no data rather than inaccurate or incomplete data to the user. So… When you load the site and don’t see the convective outlooks, it’s more than likely waiting for the latest SPC update to occur before displaying data.
