YoWindow Forecast differs from NWS

[mdwx]

Hello,

In my YoWindow, the forecast is showing cloudy for Saturday, yet if I click on the "NWS" link it shows the correct forecast of Rain/Snow likely.

Is there a reason that the forecast that YoWindow is showing is different? I tried searching here first before posting, I hope I didn't overlook the issue.

Thanks!

Hi mdwx,

The weather shown in the forecast panel is for 3:00.

I read your entire forecast for Saturday using NWS. Saturday day - Rain and snow likely. Cloudy with high near 41. 60% chance of precipitaion. Saturday night - mostly cloudy with a low of 30. I also looked at the hour by hour graph which shows a chance of precipitation, but shows that it will be cloudy.

I agree with you as there is a chance of snow or rain.

Hi Pasha,

I checked out Southgate, Maryland USA with NWS and Yr.No.

Southgate, Maryland USA is 4369964 and KBWI.

Yr.No shows rain on Saturday until 6:00 PM and then shows cloudy. NWS hour by hour graph is showing Saturday as cloudy all day with a 60% chance of precipitation until 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM.

YoWindow Yr.No time line is showing rain followed by clouds. YoWindow NWS time line is showing cloudy conditions only.

I hope this helps you out.

Is there a reason that the forecast that YoWindow is showing is different?

Forecast of YoWindow is done my the NRK, the norwegian meteorological service and the NWS is the National-Weather-Service, located in the United States.
Its unlikely that the models with which they calculate the forecast are the same, so a different forecast can and will happen.

...if I click on the "NWS" link it shows the correct forecast...

How do you know? You will have to wait till the day of the forecast and compare.

Well, correct as in what the NWS is actually forecasting

I just figured that they should match, since it says right below it that the forecast is from the NWS.

Now i understand what you've meant - thanks!

Hi. I have been enjoying your widget for about a month now but I have a problem with it, today. As it is posted on my blog, it shows that the weather forecast is originating from the NWS. I am in the US and that would be the correct source to get my weather from.

However, when I click on the widget and go "full screen", the widget shows that the weather information is originating from Norway or someplace. That is not what should be showing there and I have only "live" weather stats on full screen right now. I don't have stats for tonight, tomorrow or the day after that.

Granted, I am using the free widget on my blog, but up until today, my widget was showing all of the above-listed information for three days into the future. When I click on the tonight, tomorrow, etc. tabs, I get a landscape screen that includes the message "no weather."

Can you fix this?
