Last Day of Forecast - High and Low temperature

Post by countryroads »

I was developing a web page and noticed a problem with the high and low temperature on the last day of forecast. It shows a high of 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of -80 degrees Fahrenheit. The location is 5161340 Loudonville, Ohio USA which I am renaming as Mohican State Park for the web page. I also tried this out on some other locations on the online version and they did the same. The last day of forecast showed highs of positive numbers and lows of minus numbers. So far I have only checked the web page version and the online version.

Hey, Marty!
Have you compared YoWindow to NWS report (click on the copyright link).
Do you think the error is on YoWindow side?

Pasha,

I went to the online version and looked up Loudonville. I clicked on NWS. NWS gave Friday (May 28th) daytime high of 83 and nighttime low of 58 followed by Saturday (May 29th) daytime high of 81. There was no nighttime low. So I went to Accuweather which gives me a 15 day reading. I am giving you Accuweather reading for Mansfield (20 miles away from Loudonville - should not be a big difference). Saturday (May 29th) has a high of 81 and a low of 58. This is a daytime high of 81 with a nighttime low of 58 as they also show a nighttime high of 62.

What I am seeing with YoWindow is 3:00 in afternoon 54 degrees with a high of 81 and a low of -80. I think it is a mixed bag of tricks. NWS has not supplied a nighttime reading for Saturday night and somehow that is messing things up. I even checked out jmcmurry's website and his Saturday readings are okay. NWS has probably supplied Saturday night readings for his location.

Pasha,

I went back to the online version and looked up about 10 locations in Ohio. All that I looked at were okay on Saturday (May 29th) except for these 4.

Loudonville, Ohio
Mansfield, Ohio
Mount Vernon, Ohio
Vermilion, Ohio

In each one of these, the low reading is -80. The 3:00 reading is also what the nighttime low should be.

If I track anymore down, I will let you know.

Fixed!
This has been probably an occasional error on NWS side, but YoWindow server has cached the data.

I went back to website version and online version. I only checked out Loudonville and still had the same problem.

Pasha,

Great minds work together. Being a computer programmer most of our problems are solved when waking or trying to fall asleep. All I could think about was I had not cleared out the internet history. So cleaned out the history and all is working now.

Thank you,

Marty
