Weather Prediction via Timebar

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but until about four days ago, I was able to click on any point on the timebar and get a visual representation of the time of day and predicted weather conditions. Now, you still get the right picture based on the time, but there are no conditions, only a box that says "i No Weather". It's been this way for a number of days. If you click further along the timeline, then the weather starts up again, it seems about 10 am the next day. But from the current time to the next day at about 10 am, there's no conditions information.
Is this just temporary, because this was one of the coolest features, I could always know what it was going to be like at sunrise the next day....

Actually to be more precise, it isn't 10 am, it is about 24 hours later than whatever the time is. No weather info until you click about 24 hours ahead...

Hi,
Just to be sure:
Are you sure you're looking forward?
I mean: If I'm clicking anywhere on the timebar right now (it's 11.25 PM) then the timebar only shows earlier today and therefore gives you the "i No Weather" message. If I first click on tomorrow however, everything's fine (build 293).
Actually: I can look back for about 3/4 of an hour from the actual time, before it gives me the "i No Weather" message.

Yikes, that's exactly what I was doing...I think I was misled by the outward facing arrows which meant to me that the time interval in question was between those two arrows, i.e. today. But the arrows I can see are for moving you forward and back a day, not for indicating today on the bar. Sorry for not realizing this...

If you want to look to today, you could press enter (giving you the LIVE indicator in green), so you are looking at the live situation at this moment.
From this point you can look back (not too far) with the left arrow key or forward with the right arrow key on your keyboard in a 10 min. interval, or of course click anywhere on the timebar (as you already know). But as you've found out beware not to look back too far.

Thanks, now that you've explained a bit more, I can see there's a marker that denotes the current time on the bar, and it is very easy to see predicted conditions at any point in the future...thanks very much for explaining...
