Hi Craig,

Welcome to YoWindow.

4498224; West Hillsborough/North Carolina/United States
have been added to the database.

Both of these locations are using METAR station KIGX - CHAPEL HILL WILLIAMS AIRPORT which is giving air pressure only.

Click on Location > Properties.
Replace the KIGX with one of the following METAR icao codes.

KTDF - Roxboro, Person County Airport
KRDU - RALEIGH-DURHAM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
KBUY - BURLINGTON ALAMANCE REGIONAL

Please let us know which one is working the best for you.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks, Marty. I had a feeling that Hillsborough would use METAR KIGX (Chapel Hill Williams Airport), but that airport hasn't been reporting for almost 2 weeks. There have been rumors for years that it would close (it's a very small regional airport; part of the University of NC), but I haven't seen anything official in the press. As for which airport to use for Hillsborough, we're relatively equidistant to Burlington (24 miles) and Raleigh-Durham (29 miles), but since Raleigh-Durham is used for most locations in this region, I'm going to pick the Burlington location.

Since both Hillsborough locations are within a mile or two of each other, let's leave "Hillsborough" as KIGX (with the hopes that they haven't closed the airport), and assign KBUY to "West Hillsborough."

I think that works.

Many thanks for your efforts, Marty.
