SPC's web site having problems?

[David Rundle]

I'm still viewing yesterday's data, and I refreshed and dumped my cache to make sure. Is SPC having problems?

 

[Jason Boggs]

I haven't seen any problems from their end.

I've noticed over the last few weeks that right before they update the graphics (i.e. from 0600 to 1630) that I will briefly see an older graphic for a while (1-5 minutes usually). Don't recall that happening before. After a while the new graphic starts showing up and life goes on, but it certainly confuses me each time it happens because I'm not expecting to see that particular graphic.

Ah, maybe that's why occasionally I'll see a site go from precip mode to an out-of-place "blank" clear air mode and then back again. I figured it was my software filling in for a NWS server hiccup.

Jacob,

I have had that happen a few times myself. What usually works is if you hover over the respective image and refresh the page with your F5 button. More often than not that does the trick for me.

 

[JThumberger]

Yeah, I just keep refreshing until it shows up correctly. Assume it's just some delay from them updating to the new graphics from the old ones. Not sure if this is what David was experiencing or if it's something else.

Check your software - it shouldn't be drawing maps on its own. Sounds like an issue with your program, and not the radar imagery.
