Mostly Cloudy shows Party Cloudy

I'm using YoWindow along with my PWS. The YoWindow reports from the PWS.
Over the last few days I've noticed when it is Mostly Cloudy, YoWindow shows a few clouds
and the sun shining. Can or should that be adjusted?

Both these screenshots were taken at the same time.

Thanks!

Tony,

You'd have to see what your xml is telling YoWindow at the time. It's been my experience that YoWindow honors that very well and sometimes my xml is "off" due to the WD icon that is reported at the time.

Oh ok Jim. I would think the YoWindow.xml would have the same current conditions as the ajax,
but I'll check that out first.

Tony,

If you are using the script that Rainer put out and that I've modified here and there, it makes some adjustments based on things like solar and his cloud height formula etc. All very experimental and certainly needing more tweaking somewhere along the way.

If you're using the WD template, then you're right, they should match. Still want to look at the xml though to see what's really going on.
