The weather forecast on my log is alway off.  E.g., it's going to snow all day tomorrow and the forecast says 60s and partly sunny -- waaaaay off.  Can BT switch to noaa.gov or wunderground.com?  They're not perfect, either, but usually a lot closer to reality.  I always have noaa and wunderground open on my home computer, but tomorrow's forecast was taunting me so thought I'd mention it.

Accuweather dumps new weather info onto the server every 3 hours, it looks like this storm going through is fairly recent?  The live Accuweather site has more up to date info per your forecast, where we get the same data:

http://www.accuweather.com/forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=1&zipChg=1&zipcode=80437&metric=0

So we may just be between updates, I will watch your log tonight to see if it changes and if there is a problem.  If you are in a more volatile reagion where the weather changes fast resulting in a change in forecast, your log may not pick the update for a few hours.

-Accuweather is the only service that allows us to put weather, both domestic and international, reliably on the site.  We looked into both of your alternatives before - I like them too!

Will let you know...

I've noticed that mine has been "off" for the last few days.  On Sunday, it said Monday would be 54 and rain.  On Monday, it said Tuesday would be 54 and rain.  Today it says that Wednesday will be 54 and rain.  It just looks like the forecast (or the days) haven't been updating. 

ETA:  It is showing today's forecast as AM and PM thunderstorms, even though there are no clouds in the sky.  That was the same "today" forecast for Sunday and Monday also.

Thanks Ron! 

btw, we've gotten at least 6" of snow   If accuweather could make it 60's and partly sunny, I'd appreciate it

Looks like the weather issues is effecting most of us...Thanks for fixing the glitch.

I've noticed my weather is as of Sunday and the days just roll forward. So Sunday weather is still today - if that makes any sense

It should be back.  What happened is that Accuweather started sending 'N/A' values for humidity, we expected a number so when we parse the data, it gummed up.  We've adjusted and it looks a lot more appropriate.

Thanks for noticing this Skarl et el.  Sorry about the weather, yours and mine both were better when it was stuck.
